[Music and lyrics: De Feis]
Roaring against the dying light
The lion stands alone
Caught in the spell of winter dreams
He'll not give up his throne
Chain the earth and chain the sun
Break the hourglass
Make the stars fall into line
Suspend the end of time
No, not tonight
I'll not give in without a fight
And I'll rage against this wind
For even a moment more of the day
I will...
[Chorus:]
Run proud, run free
Never set the sun on me
Race hard play mean
Anger's the symphony of screams
A thousand roses on the hill
A thousand lips to taste
The darkness breathes a hateful sigh
Goes forth to murder dreams
Voices crying cold and dark
My name is in the sky
Shadows lenghten, sun sinks low
The trees are frozen gold
I won't give in!!!
