The Chosen Ones - Steve Harris

Here they come walking with fire in their eyes

In these lands only the tough can survive

Here in the heartland you hear their cries

We’ll fly the colours 'til the day that we die

Hear the sound the backstreet dance has begun

Walking proud the thundering hearts on the run

Locked out on a cold winter’s night

Just children we’ve got to survive

We are the chosen ones of the night

So young to be left all alone in the fight

Even though we are the strays

Say a prayer for better days

And they’ll never break us down

'Cause we are the chosen ones

Just a boy abandoned and left on the street

Kicked on the outside but inside you can’t touch me

I’m rising out of the gutters and pain

Take on the world you’ll remember my name

We are the chosen ones of the night

So young to be left all alone in the fight

But you’ll never see us cry

'Cause we’re never going to die

And they’ll never break us down

'Cause we are the chosen ones

And we’re on the streets

And we’re so cold

But we’re rising up

We’ll be the chosen ones

We are the chosen ones of the night

So young to be left all alone in the fight

But you’ll never see us cry

'Cause we’re never going to die

And they’ll never break us down

'Cause we are the chosen ones

We are the chosen ones of the night

And we’re rising up
