[Intro | twin-guitar harmony | melodic build | F# minor] [Verse 1 | powerful midrange male vocal | restrained] Cold wind cutting through the street Another day beneath my feet I've carried more than I can show But there's one thing I still know Every scar and every fall Never took away it all There's a fire they never found Still alive beneath the ground [Verse 2 | melodic counter-guitar | stronger delivery] I've watched the good days disappear I've learned to live beside the fear Every door they closed on me Left another road to see I don't need a hand to hold I don't need their promised gold What I carry deep inside Is the one thing I won't hide [Chorus | melodic lift | supporting backing vocals] At the edge of the night I can still see the light When the road turns against me I'll stand and fight At the edge of the night I will hold on tight You can take what surrounds me But you won't take my pride [Bridge | guitars pull back | tension building] One more mile One more day One more reason Not to fade away I've been down I've been torn But every time I rise once more [Guitar Solo | classic melodic heavy-metal lead | expressive bends | twin-guitar response] [Final | full-band lift | powerful vocal] At the edge of the night I can still see the light When the road turns against me I'll stand and fight At the edge of the night I will hold on tight You can take what surrounds me But you won't take my pride [Final Chorus Lift | backing vocals] At the edge of the night! Still alive! At the edge of the night! I survive! [Epilogue | twin guitars | sustained F# minor ending] At the edge of the night... I survive.
