[Verse 1]
What a shame we all became
Such fragile, broken things
A memory remains, just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
To let the flames begin
So let the flames begin
Oh, glory, oh, glory

[Chorus 1]
This is how we’ll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is what we’ll be, oh, glory

[Verse 2]
Somewhere, weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all and
Growing beneath it all and

[Chorus 2]
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what we'll be, oh, glory

[Bridge]
Reaching as I sink down into light (into light)
Reaching as I sink down into light (into light)

[Chorus 2]
This is how we dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what we'll be, oh, glory

Paramore

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
