[Intro] [melodic piano solo] [cymbal crash] [Verse 1] [steady groove, clean electric guitar, driving bass] I'm not alone, we're creeping in the night My heart is pounding, am I ready to fight? The stars shine above me as I hide All these years I've kept it all inside [piano glissando] Slowly, all the starlight fades away Still we move, no time for fear [Chorus] [full band comes in, wide open vocals] Oh, we are soldiers in the night Lost in this battlefield of life Hold on, don’t let go tonight Oh, we’ll never give up the fight [Verse 2] [half-time drum feel, piano more prominent, guitars pull back] Voices call my name Through the darkness, I feel the change My heart is pounding and I wait Tonight, we play a dangerous game [drums open up, guitars return] And a tiny voice inside whispers "Don't stop, never give up" [Chorus] Oh, we are soldiers in the night Lost in this battlefield of life Hold on, don’t let go tonight Oh, we’ll never give up the fight [Bridge] [tight guitar stabs, more urgent vocal] Our courage rises, our souls ablaze Through the battle, voices rise I've waited long enough Hearts on fire, we’re ready to fight [Chorus] Oh, we are soldiers in the night Lost in this battlefield of life Hold on tight, don’t let go tonight Oh, we’ll never give up the fight [Guitar Solo] [melodic lines, bending phrases, lyrical sustain] [Outro] [rhythm guitar chugging, steady backbeat] We hold on tight, we won’t let go of our pride Through the fire, our courage guides us Running through the darkness, hearts racing We won’t back down, we break through the fire [vocal belt] (Whoa-oh-oh!) [Chorus melody reprise, band pulls back] Oh, we are soldiers in the night Lost in this battlefield of life We are soldiers in the night [final guitar flourish, drums hit and hold] Oh, we are soldiers in the night Lost in this battlefield of life We are soldiers in the night [sustained piano chord, soft guitar ring-out] I will never give up the fight [End]
