The National - Forever After Days Lyrics

On my feet i stand tonight, stand and step up to the light
an extraordinary man unbroken in the breaking light

forever after days, stand and make myself a crown
to the table i step alone, hold my own above the ground
take my shot under the light, heroes come a common way
pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner i made

on my feet i stand tonight, stand alone inside the edge
an extraordinary man, everything starts and holds me there

forever after days, stand and make myself a crown
to the table i step alone, hold my own above the ground
take my shot under the light, heroes come a common way
pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner i made
