We Rule the Night
Virgin Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raise The Roof Now
We Are Coming
There's No Stopping Us
Here we go!
Let The Creatures of pray
Raise a clamor round your ears
Of fear!
It's a tale of the fool
Designed to weaken you
Full of sound and fury
And jealous lies
It tries-but I'm free!
Wings of vengeance draw nigh
Wings of vengeance on high
[Chorus]
We rule the night
We rule the night
We rule the night
You and I
Marching on to victory
Your path is paved with scars
A victim of illusion
You shoot far- so far
Oh, but your reach
Should always exceed your your grasp
Or what's a heaven for
But to last- to last
Die free!
Wings of vengeance draw nigh
Wings of vengeance on high
[Chorus]
The Virgin Steele song "We Rule the Night" is a call to action for people to stand up for themselves and take control of their lives. The chorus repeats the title phrase as a rallying cry, emphasizing the power of the people to govern their own lives. The lyrics talk about the creatures of prey, representing the oppressive forces that seek to keep others down. These forces use fear and deception to weaken and control people, but the song's narrator is not fooled. He knows the truth and is free to act accordingly.
The song also speaks to the need to keep striving and pushing forward. The line "your reach should always exceed your grasp" suggests that one should never settle for less than they can achieve. It's a call to keep aiming higher and never give up, with the goal of creating a better life for oneself. The "wings of vengeance" allude to a sense of justice and retribution, suggesting that those who have been wronged will rise up to take control and right the wrongs of the past. The song ends with a powerful assertion of agency: "We rule the night, you and I," making it clear that the power to control one's life lies within each person.

Lift Your Voices Up
Let your voices be heard in unison
Raise The Roof Now
Create a loud and joyous noise
We Are Coming
We are approaching with a purpose
There's No Stopping Us
Nothing can thwart our progress
Here we go!
We are ready to embark on this adventure
Let The Creatures of pray
Let the creatures who wish to harm you make noise
Raise a clamor round your ears
Let their noise be deafening
Cursing, screaming voices full of fear
Their noises are a result of their fear
Of fear!
They fear us
It's a tale of the fool
Their attempt to scare us is foolish
Designed to weaken you
They intend to debilitate us
Full of sound and fury
Their methods are flashy but lack substance
And jealous lies
Their lies are born out of envy
It tries-but I'm free!
Their attempt to hold us back has failed and we remain free
Wings of vengeance draw nigh
We approach with a sense of justice
Wings of vengeance on high
Our mission is elevated and noble
We rule the night
Our power is strongest in the darkness
You and I
Together we are strong
Marching on to victory
We continue our journey towards achieving our goal
Your path is paved with scars
You have faced challenges along the way
A victim of illusion
You have fallen prey to false perceptions
You shoot far- so far
You aim high and far
Oh, but your reach
Your potential
Should always exceed your your grasp
Should always be higher than what you currently hold
Or what's a heaven for
What is the point of striving if not to reach for something greater
But to last- to last
To endure through it all
Die free!
Live your life on your own terms
