[Verse 1]
Cold winter fast approaches, as we fearfully wait
The simplest of simple creatures, bound by the laws of fate
As we shivered in the gutters, far away from home
We lost the last vestige of hope, freezing and alone
A shadow came to us in our dreams, with tales of better times
The royal Princess of the Night forgave us for our crimes
And as the Solar Sister overlooked us, nocturnal we became
We wore a darker armor, and we carried a different flame

[Pre-Chorus]
You now belong to a greater good, and you answer to a higher call!
You are part of the best and greatest, and there is no room for failure!
You will leave behind all weakness! You are no longer a mortal!
You are a indestructable Soldier of the Night!

[Chorus]
As the sunset fades away, the yellow turns to grey
The moonlight shines across the land, a calling we obey
The purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight
My brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night

[Verse 2]
We stand at arms before our liege, each of us just a pawn and now
We reign supreme throughout the dark, until the light of dawn
The memories we left behind us might cripple lesser men
But those of us brought back from nothing have risen once again
We see it in her moonlit eyes, a fury held at bay
A battle waiting in the ashes, to resume another day
And as we disappear into the shadows, we fill their souls with dread
We fight tonight to rule tomorrow, and a dark day lies ahead
[Chorus]
As the sunset fades away, the yellow turns to grey
The moonlight shines across the land, a calling we obey
The purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight
My brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
The times we live in now have changed, honor is long gone, and now that
Good and evil are shades of grey, a cruel impasse is drawn
For all the good we have created, it doesn't make us right
But those of us who hide in darkness see a different kind of light

[Chorus]
As the sunset fades away, the yellow turns to grey
The moonlight shines across the land, a calling we obey
The purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight
My brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night

[Bridge]
The times we live in now have changed, honor is long gone, and now that
Good and evil are shades of grey, a cruel impasse is drawn
For all the good we have created, it doesn't make us right
But those of us who hide in darkness see a different kind of light
