TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE

Songtext

[INTRO — FEMALE, POWERFUL AND MELODIC] We didn’t come this far to fade away We’re gonna make ’em remember tonight! [MALE — GRITTY, CONFIDENT] Then turn it up! [FULL BAND — CRUNCHY GUITARS, HARD DRUMS] [VERSE 1 — MALE] We’ve been biting our tongues, playing nice Paying too much for somebody else’s price Had enough of the same old game Same old faces, same old blame Now the engine’s running, the speakers shake Got no more time for the rules they make There’s a fire in the wires tonight And we’re done asking for the green light [PRE-CHORUS — MALE / FEMALE] MALE: We’ve held it in for far too long FEMALE: Now turn it loose, let the whole thing rock MALE: You feel that heat? FEMALE: I feel it rise! BOTH: We’re taking back this night! [CHORUS — MALE LEAD, FEMALE POWERFUL RESPONSES] MALE: TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! FEMALE: We’re alive! MALE: Got the fire, got the fight! FEMALE: Feel the fire! BOTH: We’re not waiting for a sign We’re not asking for more time Let the whole damn world fall behind TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! MALE: Let tomorrow come when it comes FEMALE: We ain’t stopping for anyone! BOTH: Turn it up, let the feeling rise TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! [VERSE 2 — MALE] There’s a beat in the floor, a crack in the night Her eyes say trouble, and she’s feeling alright No looking over our shoulders again No more living just to fit in We’ve got miles to go and a world to shake One shot at the life we’re here to make Let them talk, let them draw their lines They can keep their rules — we’re taking back our time [PRE-CHORUS — MALE / FEMALE] MALE: We’ve held it in for far too long FEMALE: Now turn it loose, let the whole thing rock MALE: You feel that heat? FEMALE: I feel it rise! BOTH: We’re taking back this night! [CHORUS — FULL BAND, BIGGER VOCALS] MALE: TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! FEMALE: We’re alive! MALE: Got the fire, got the fight! FEMALE: Feel the fire! BOTH: We’re not waiting for a sign We’re not asking for more time Let the whole damn world fall behind TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! MALE: Let tomorrow come when it comes FEMALE: We ain’t stopping for anyone! BOTH: Turn it up, let the feeling rise TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! [SHORT, MELODIC 80s-STYLE ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO] [BRIDGE — FEMALE, THEN MALE] FEMALE: No more standing on the outside MALE: No more watching life go by FEMALE: If we’re gonna burn, let’s burn bright BOTH: We’re wide awake and it’s our night! [BUILD — DRUMS AND GUITARS RISE] MALE: Are you ready? FEMALE: Born ready! MALE: Turn it up! FEMALE: Take it higher! [FINAL CHORUS — FULL POWER] MALE: TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! FEMALE: We’re alive! MALE: Got the fire, got the fight! FEMALE: Feel the fire! BOTH: We’re not waiting for a sign We’re not asking for more time Let the whole damn world fall behind TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! Let tomorrow come when it comes We ain’t stopping for anyone! Turn it up, let the feeling rise TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! [OUTRO — BOTH, FULL BAND] TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! [FINAL CRUNCHY GUITAR HIT — HARD STOP]
