Ten thousand soldiers came
To take my love away
I turned to stand and fight
But I could not hold her tight... enough

Hold on till the night is done
Stand strong till the battle's won
Don't you let me fall

My eyes lead me to fear
but I could not leave her here
I marched to face this king
Frozen... my feet keep moving

Hold on till the night is done
Stand strong till the battle's won
Don't you let me fall
Don't you let me fall

(Instrumental Bridge)

Oh... (x2)

Hold on till the night is done
Stand strong till the battle's won

Oh... (x4)

'Take your final bow, oh king,'
Sang the streets below.
And I held my love so close to me
that I could hear her breathing...
