[Intro] Turn the amps to thunder, let the banners rise Boots hit the platform, fire in our eyes One, two, three, four—are you ready tonight? [Verse 1] You came through the gates with your hands held high Denim on your shoulders, lightning in the sky Every seat is shaking, every heart is loud We built this roaring kingdom from a restless crowd [Pre-Chorus] When the count comes down, there’s no turning back Feel the floorboards jump beneath the attack [Chorus] Rock and roll, we own this night Metal hearts and stadium lights Sing it back till the walls break through This thunder belongs to me and you Rock and roll, let the whole world know Raise your voice and steal the show From the first chord ringing to the final call We are alive when the amplifiers fall [Crowd Work] Lead Vocal: When I say rock, you say roll! Crowd: Rock! Lead Vocal: Roll! Crowd: Roll! Lead Vocal: When I say metal, you say loud! Crowd: Metal! Lead Vocal: Loud! Crowd: Loud! [Verse 2] There’s a kid by the rail with a borrowed patch A thousand miles behind him, nothing in his hands But the song found a doorway, and the doorway swung wide Now the whole front row is standing side by side [Pre-Chorus] No velvet rope can hold this sound We turn one spark into a battleground [Chorus] Rock and roll, we own this night Metal hearts and stadium lights Sing it back till the walls break through This thunder belongs to me and you Rock and roll, let the whole world know Raise your voice and steal the show From the first chord ringing to the final call We are alive when the amplifiers fall [Guitar Solo 1] [Instrumental] [Bridge] Put your fists in the air, let me count to four One for the dream, two for the roar Three for the friends who never let go Four for the fire we carry home [Crowd Work] Lead Vocal: Left side, are you with me? Crowd: We are with you! Lead Vocal: Right side, make it louder! Crowd: We are louder! Lead Vocal: Everybody now—one voice! Crowd: One voice! [Breakdown] No silence tonight No surrender tonight When the kick drum hits, every heartbeat knows We’re the gasoline and the match that glows [Guitar Solo 2] [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Rock and roll, we own this night Metal hearts and stadium lights Sing it back till the walls break through This thunder belongs to me and you Rock and roll, let the whole world know Raise your voice and steal the show From the first chord ringing to the final call We are alive when the amplifiers fall [Outro] Keep the banners flying, keep the engines hot Carry this noise to every parking lot One last chord, then the night stands tall Rock and roll forever—answer when I call Lead Vocal: Are you still alive? Crowd: Alive! Lead Vocal: Are you coming back? Crowd: Coming back! Lead Vocal: Then raise it one more time! Crowd: Rock and roll! [Guitar Solo 3] [Instrumental] [Outro] The final guitars climb, then crash into a sustained triumphant chord.
