The Story Behind “Save Us”
A cinematic Sunday’s Child track with a unique backstory connected to the Robert De Niro film 15 Minutes.
Behind the Song
“Save Us” is one of the strongest story-driven tracks in the Sunday’s Child catalog. The song was written for consideration around the film 15 Minutes, starring Robert De Niro, although it was not used in the final film. That background gives the track a naturally cinematic quality, making it a useful reference point for sync-style positioning and visual storytelling.
SAVE US
In a world where darkness rules In a room doused with fuel They will light you up Watch you burn See it on the evening news
In a world that’s gone insane There’s a mind filled with pain Watch him set you up Knock you down Play you like the fool that you are
Do you believe in love Do you believe in happy endings That await us when we die And float up to the light that we were born into and never get to see here
Are you the one who loves the kill Who’ll do it for the snapshot thrill Of a grizzly crime etched in time Captured on a piece of tape
Do you believe in grace Do you believe that heaven waits And when we go will we atone Or hold our heads up high Did we do all that we could to make you proud ? And when the tide of darkness falls Who will be the one to raise his sword up to the sky and try to save us ?
