Lyrics
The final whistle's gone and the floodlights start to fade The crowd has drained like water through the gates that they have made But we are still here singing on the terraces of stone No one tells us leave, no one leaves us on our own Hear the voices rising up Fill the empty cup Lights out over the silent terraces We sing, we sing, we are not alone Lights out but the song still carries us Every voice a lantern shown Lights out, let the dark come in We were here, we will begin Again, again, again The scoreboard flickers off and the grass goes grey and deep The ghosts of every season on the concrete seem to sleep But I can hear the thunder in the hollow of my chest Every year we lost and won, every heart that gave its best Hear the voices rising up Fill the empty cup Lights out over the silent terraces We sing, we sing, we are not alone Lights out but the song still carries us Every voice a lantern shown Lights out, let the dark come in We were here, we will begin Again, again, again Hand in hand along the rail Through the cold and through the gale There's a hymn that never ends When the stadium is full of friends Lights out over the silent terraces We sing, we sing, we are not alone Lights out but the song still carries us Every voice a lantern shown Lights out, let the dark come in We were here, we will begin Again, again, again Lights out, lights out We will begin again
