VIRTUE 7" Lyrics Help

[daniel]

So far:

"We Stand To Fight"

A light, that burns in the night, burning so bright, must kill the foes the danger in the night
Their numbers are low, the fighting still goes, you’re riding on a prayer is/if that/’s ?

We fought for our lives
Dead or Alive
Live and let die……. Tonight!
We stand tonight, we stand to fight, where are the heroes, tonight!?

Stand brave, don’t be afraid, will we stand this way, there’s nothing left, to live, ? running ?
With spirits running high, will we ever die, when the sun goes down will we all be dead?

We fought for our lives
Dead or Alive
Live and let die……. Tonight!
We stand tonight, we stand to fight, Where are the heroes, tonight!?


"High Treason"

Locked up by the day, you escape through the night, come morning you’ll be gone
The guards aren’t far behind, betrayal is the crime, when you’re caught you’ll be hanged

You better run, you better run for your life
Take my word, if you want to survive,
The guards are close and you are ? tonight
Death is closing in on you tonight…

High Treason! Traitor to the world
You can’t stop them, keep on running, away.

Running from the light, keeping out of sight, I’m running away from you
Can you hear the ?, you’re being/been hunted like a fox, ???? what you’ve done and what you’ve been?
You’ve gotta get out, you’ve gotta get out of this town
You have no chance, they’ll run you down
The end is near and life is running short,
They’ve got you cornered, you’ve been caught

High Treason, Traitor to the world
You can’t stop them, keep on running, away

I remember how it used to be, children played, the people were free
I don’t know, how did it all start,
They brought terror, they ???

:solos:

They got me, they’re with me, they guide me through the crowd
???, there’s women and children screaming,
To the rope, up ahead, I’m forced up to the stone,
No regrets,
I… ??? (sounds like “burn”, though that contradicts the earlier line about being hung when caught, so which is right )

Great work as usual, daniel. My suggestions:

We Stand To Fight

'A light, the fires in the night'
you’re riding on a prayer is/if that/’s ? - I don’t know about the first part but it ends with something like ‘sight’
'Death or Life'
'We’re all then heroes'

'to live is running mad' I do hear 'is' though
'We’re spirits running high'


High Treason

'The guards are close and you are locked into the night'

'Hunted by the light'
'Can you hear the march'
'They brought terror, they’ve got it all ???'

'They got me, they’re with me, they drive me through the crowd
They’re peering, they’re cheering, there’s women and children screaming'

[ION BRITTON]

Any progress here, daniel?

[daniel]

Yeah sorry.

After checking things with your suggestions in mind I think the first line must be;

"Alight, the fires in the night"

"Their numbers are low, they're fighting still though, you're on your own, the prayer is done, sigh. (hahaha

"There's nothing left, the river's running red"

----

"They brought terror, the captured our ?"

'They got me, they’re with me, they drive me through the crowd
They’re peering, they’re cheering, there’s women and children screaming' - Yeah this must be right

Still stuck with the rest and get frustrated playing sentences over and over and over haha

[ION BRITTON]

Yeah, I know, it's a bit frustrating but that's part of the challenge

What about these lines?

'We’re all then heroes'

'Hunted by the light'
'Can you hear the march'

I'm pretty sure I hear an 'n' right before 'heroes'

'march' makes sense as well, for the other one I'm not very positive although I can't hear a word starting with an 'r' as in 'running'. does make sense too, but...

I can't check the other few words you changed/added right now, I'll do that within the next days though
