Lyrics
[introduction]
[percussion break]
[Verse 1]
In the dead of the night
There’s a ripple in the silence
A shout heard all around
Vibrates the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh when the going gets tough
And on-edge turns to fright [fright]
When the silhouettes of shadows
Draw nearer in the night
[Chorus]
Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ [that’s right]
Don’t put out the light,
That sweet illumination
Piercing through the black of night,
When the darkness gathers ‘round us
And you’re ready to go to flight,
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t you dare give up the fight!
[Tag]
Gotta keep on burnin’
Gotta keep on shining your light
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t you dare give up the fight
[introduction]
[percussion break]
[Verse 1]
In the dead of the night
There’s a ripple in the silence
A shout heard all around
Vibrates the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh when the going gets tough
And on-edge turns to fright [fright]
When the silhouettes of shadows
Draw nearer in the night
[Chorus]
Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ [that’s right]
Don’t put out the light,
That sweet illumination
Piercing through the black of night,
When the darkness gathers ‘round us
And you’re ready to go to flight,
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t you dare give up the fight!
[Tag]
Gotta keep on burnin’
Gotta keep on shining your light
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t you dare give up the fight
[Verse 2]
In the beat of your heart
There’s a noble defiance
Your shout heard all around
It shakes the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh when the fire’s cooling down
And on-edge turns to fright (fright)
When the prying eyes and footsteps
Draw nearer in the night
[Chorus]
Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ (that’s right)
Don’t put out the light,
That sweet illumination
Piercing through the black of night,
When the darkness gathers ‘round us
And you’re ready to go to flight,
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t you dare give up the fight!
[Tag]
Gotta keep on burnin’
Gotta keep on shining your light
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t give up the fight
[synth solo]
[Bridge]
We gotta hold our ground,
Not gonna fade away,
Oh, no, fear won’t stop us,
We’ll take our stand
Until the break of day! (break of day)
[Chorus]
Ooh we gotta keep it burnin’ [that’s right]
Don’t put out the light,
That sweet illumination
Piercing through the black of night,
When the darkness gathers ‘round us
And you’re ready to go to flight,
Gotta keep on burnin’
Don’t you dare give up the fight!
