All night long like a soldier at attention

Hanging on the first word from the queen

All the armies that you build are still defending

The fields of worry that I come between



And I'm standing at the gate, still not a king

Come on, let me in, you know it's me



When your moonlight's out

And all your fires are burning

And your troubles now,

We'll burn them to the ground

We built them up so high

You can't even see the stars come out

Let me tear those midnight walls down

Walls down...



Lay this song down

And sing a song of rescue

You look so true

When there's trouble behind your eyes

We'll take an aim on the darkness that you go through

And you'll say a prayer that the sun is on my side



'Cause I'm standing at the gate, still not a king

Come on, let me in, you know it's me



When your moonlight's out

And all your fires are burning

And your troubles now,

We'll burn them to the ground

We built them up so high

You can't even see the stars come out

Let me tear those midnight walls down

Walls down...
