One December day The yuletide harvest withered away Now we're here to stay I lie awake ashamed and afraid Can we survive the night? Are we gonna die tonight? Have to save us all From the harrowing howl of snow Watching death arrive And there's nowhere left to hide I wanna rise and fly the flag of our land Mighty as a warrior for all I stand Gotta survive while we're still alive To carry you home from the days you left behind Now the lights are out I've seen a face that I cannot explain Don't deserve her love Cause I can't ride the lightning above I thought I was strong I thought I had powers and magic How I was so wrong Just a fool in a film so tragic I wanna rise and fly the flag of our land Mighty as a warrior for all I stand Gotta survive while we're still alive In their eyes I'm out of my mind Isolation taking its toll All the summer nights I was on my own Killing the pain was getting harder each week To hide my eyes and cry myself to sleep Someday you're gonna be fine Don't lose your heart's desire Your awakening has arrived Cause your hope keeps us alive I wanna rise and fly the flag of our land Mighty as a warrior for all I stand Gotta survive while we're still alive Seize the day and refuse to die We're the ones with who you can fight All the winter nights to the morning lights Turn the page as another act starts And raise your glass to the power in our hearts
