We marched the globe, we've conquered all, and anchored every sea
We chased the demons back to hell and vanquished every beast
Protected souls of young and old before they were dead and gone
We watched your back when they attacked, defending a worthy cause

We rule the night
We ride the sky
Through frost and fire... we rise

Your family's gone, your heart is lost, you served your country well
You've taken pride in saving lives but surely time will tell
You hide the tears, throughout the years to try and keep the peace
As a sailor never leaves his ship, a true soldier never retreats

We rule the night
We ride the sky
Through frost and fire... we rise

So take me back to what we had before
Redemption is the road I'm looking for
Our destiny has reached the final door
There's only one more path to be explored
And I have to know for sure

So take your stories and throw them out the window
Just like the way you took my life away
I've got no time now it all comes crashing down again
Blinded by kindness that took the walls away
Took the walls away
