[Verse 1]
What did you think you were playing in the shadows of your mind?
What is it you think you see, from the signs in your mind?
OOH WELL THE NIGHTS BEGAN HARDER AND HARDER AS THE TIME SLOWLY FLIED!
AND THE MEMORIES REPEATED 'TILL ALL OF YOUR DREAMS MADE YOU CRY!
[Verse 2]
Forced down, holding back your Tears
Charging closer to the d**h we desire
You are required!
Your souls about to meet it's master
It's about to expire!
Maybe it's the end you seek
But it results in defeat
Unleash the nightmare inside!
[Pre Chorus]
MARCH! (TO THE BATTLEFIELD ANOTHER DAY TO DIE, WE GO)
ONWARD! (THROUGH EVERY LITTLE SHADOW, WE PROCEED)
TO THE NIGHTMARE! (SALUTE YOU TILL WE SIT AND SURVIVE)
WE'RE MARCHING ONWARD TO THE NIGHTMARE!
[Chorus]
WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN!
WHEN WILL THE CHOSEN TURN AROUND
SUMMON THE SILENCE AND WEAR YOUR CROWN
BEGIN YOUR DARKEST RISE!
HOLDING ONTO YOUR OWN DREAMS
ESCAPE DENIED
SO NOW YOU CHARGE
THE END WILL NOW RISE!
[Verse 3]
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE DARKNESS TAKING OVER YOUR DEMISE?
WHAT WAS IT YOU THOUGHT YOU SAW THROUGH THE TEARS OF YOUR EYES?
OH WELL THE NIGHTS WOULD END LOUDER AND LOUDER AND CORRODE YOUR DISGUISE!
AND THE REST BEGAN TO FEED ON YOUR SOUL AS YOU SAID YOUR GOODBYES!
[Verse 4]
FORCED, DOWN, DOWN BELOW THE SURFACE
YOUR BLOOD SHOT EYES DIVIDE!
YOUR TIME IS NIGH
YOUR DOOMS ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED AND
YOU'RE ABOUT TO EXPIRE!
MAYBE IT'S THE LIGHT YOU NEED
BUT ALL THAT'S LEFT IS DEFEAT
UNLEASH THE NIGHTMARE INSIDE!
[Pre Chorus]
MARCH! (TO THE BATTLEFIELD ANOTHER DAY TO DIE, WE GO)
ONWARD! (THROUGH EVERY LITTLE SHADOW, WE PROCEED)
TO THE NIGHTMARE! (SALUTE YOU TILL WE SIT AND SURVIVE)
WE'RE MARCHING ONWARD TO THE NIGHTMARE!
[Chorus]
WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN!
WHEN WILL THE CHOSEN TURN AROUND
SUMMON THE SILENCE AND WEAR YOUR CROWN
BEGIN YOUR DARKEST RISE!
HOLDING ONTO YOUR OWN DREAMS
ESCAPE DENIED
SO NOW YOU CHARGE
THE END WILL NOW RISE!
MAAAAAAAAARCH!
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
RUN THROUGH THE SHINING GATES
DEFEND YOURSELF
WITH EVERY MOVE YOU TAKE
GATHER YOUR COURAGE YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR MIND
SAVE EVERY TEAR THAT YOU SHED FOR MANKIND
LET THEM KNOW OF YOU ARE FREE!!!
Forced down, down for far too long
Take your wings and fly!
[Chorus]
WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN!
WHEN WILL THE CHOSEN TURN AROUND
SUMMON THE SILENCE AND WEAR YOUR CROWN
BEGIN YOUR DARKEST RISE!
HOLDING ONTO YOUR OWN DREAMS
ESCAPE DENIED
SO NOW YOU CHARGE
THE END WILL NOW RISE!
NOTHING TO FEAR,RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIFE!!
