Hold Back the Night

When I was young, couldn't stand to believe it
 Somewhere there was a sun left to shine
 But my heart won't be still till I've seen it
 Won't be still till I've made it mine
 There's a fear, can't be seen, it surrounds me
 As afraid of the dark as the light
 Was a time, long ago, these were safe streets
 Now I'm the only one that keeps me alive
 Keep me alive
 But I know a hero will come
 There's a face that I've seen in the windows
 There's a face of a strong good man
 When I turn as a leaf when the wind blows
 Blown away as the will in his hands
 You been dead when they want to defeat you
 You were bled of the will to survive
 Now you'll stand just as long as they need you
 When you're the only one that keeps you alive
 Keep you alive
 But I know a hero will come
 And the night, the night will be torn apart
 And I know he won't fight alone
 And the spark that we carry will turn the dark into
 A flame, a fire, a light
 There must be an end to the darkness
 There must be an end to the darkness
 There must be an end to the darkness
 There must be an end to the darkness
 No one will come
 This city is dead
 But all of your heroes are gone
 And the blood that they spilled is on my hands
 A darkness will block out the sun
 Not a thing could be done with so few men
 That a hero couldn't do
 When the voice from the shadows calls you
 When the wind whips past your ears
 Will you stand when the weight is upon you?
 Or will you go to your knees in fear?
 There's a chance, though I know it's a long shot
 And the city is out of time
 Off and on if your heart stops beating
 'Cause you're the only one that keeps you alive
 God, keep me alive
 But I know a hero will come
 And all of your heroes are gone
 Someone's got to
 No one left to
 Bring back the light
 And I know he won't fight alone
 A darkness will block out the sun
 If we can't
 Find a way to
 Hold back the night
 And I know a hero will come
 And all of your heroes are gone
 Someone's got to
 No one left to
 Bring back the light
 And I know he won't fight alone
 A darkness will block out the sun
 If we can't
 Find a way to hold back the night
 And I know a hero will come
 But all of your heroes are gone
 Someone's got to
 No one left to
 Bring back the light
 And I know he won't fight alone
 A darkness will block out the sun
 If we can't
 Find a way to hold back the night
