Never Surrender
Bonfire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the darkness falls
On both sides of the wall
Freedom only comes to you in your secret dreams

We must stand up tall be united one and all
You know that all our differences
Are not quite what they seem
Cold as ice, we've played that game
The one for cash, the other for fame
Right or wrong didn't matter, the innocent paid

Hear us call, we must stand in peace together
Hear us call, we will not let go, we'll fight forever

Never surrender, never surrender
Together we are strong enough
Never surrender
To this cold and evil world

This heart of mine wants to know
Where did all our heroes go
We need them more than ever in times of despair

New hopes are on the rise
No more reason for life in disguise
We will be heroes tearing down the wall of hate

East or west, we all share the same desire
East or west, your spirit is like fuel in the fire

Never surrender, never surrender
Together we are strong enough
Never surrender
To this cold and evil world
Never surrender, never surrender
All we need is love




Never surrender
Never surrender anymore
