this is why we fight. — for the calm before the storm. for the physical scars. for the psychological ones. for the inescapable burden of living up to old legacies left behind by aging heroes. for doing what’s right, or at least trying to. for striving to be extraordinary. for brothers-and-sisters-in-arms. for broken bones and the metallic taste of blood. for functional costumes and a new age of heroes. for the all too familiar battle cry “avengers assemble.” for saving the world…a lot.

THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT // THE DECEMBERISTS

come the war / come the avarice / come the war / come hell…this is why / why we fight —— [x]

KINGS AND QUEENS // 30 SECONDS TO MARS

we were the kings and queens of promise / we were the victims of ourselves / maybe the children of a lesser god / between heaven and hell.—— [x]

CARRY ON // FUN.

so i met up with some friends / at the edge of the night / at a bar off 75 / and we talked and talked / about how our parents will die / all our neighbors and wives…—— [x]

SOLDIERS // OTHERWISE

we are the ones who will never be broken / with our final breath / we’ll fight to the death / we are soldiers, we are soldiers…—— [x]

YOUTH // DAUGHTER

and if you’re still bleeding, you’re the lucky ones / cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone / we’re setting fire to our insides for fun / collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home…—— [x]

KING AND LIONHEART // OF MONSTERS AND MEN

and as the world comes to an end / i’ll be there to hold your hand—— [x]

SEVEN NATION ARMY // THE WHITE STRIPES

i’m gonna fight ‘em off / a seven nation army couldn’t hold me back—— [x]

NO CHURCH IN THE WILD // JAY-Z AND KANYE WEST FT. FRANK OCEAN

human beings in a mob / what’s a mob to a king / what’s a king to a god / what’s a god to anon-believer / who don’t believe in anything? / we make it out alive, all right, all right…—— [x]

SOUND OF SILENCE // SIMON & GARFUNKEL

hello darkness, my old friend / i’ve come to talk with you again…—— [x]

MARCHING ON // ONEREPUBLIC

there’s so many wars we fought / there’s so many things we’re not / but with what we have / i promise you that we’re marching on, we’re marching on.—— [x]

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY // U2

i can’t believe the news today / oh i can’t close my eyes and make it go away. —— [x]

THE BEGINNING IS THE END IS THE BEGINNING // SMASHING PUMPKINS

for now we stand alone / the world is lost and blown / and we are flesh and blood disintegrate / with no more to hate.—— [x]

RADIOACTIVE // IMAGINE DRAGONS

i’m waking up, i feel it in my bones / enough to make my systems blow / welcome to the new age, to the new age. —— [x]

Well here’s a headline you don’t see every day…

If you’re skeptical, hear him say it for himself. 

It just gets worse and worse as you read it and LISTEN to him. Holy crap. Spread this, I mean it, to every American able to vote LISTEN.
