[Verse 1]
When the thAunder claps arDound the fAields 
When the caAnnons sound thDrough the aEir 
When the liAghtning claps aDcross the Asky
For this I Alove I'll sEtill be tAhere
When the rAain falls down to the bDottom of the vaAlley
When the buAildings fall wDithout a cEare
When the sAky grows dark at nDight or dAay
For this I loAve I'll stEill be thAere
[Chorus]
DaDrkness CAame, fiDerce and wAild
HDeld me lAike a chEild
TDhis could be the lAast night beEfore I go to Awar
TDhis could be my lEast night with yAou
[Verse 2]
When Awe all know not to tDhink about toAmorrow
As ovAerhead buDllets fEly
When the batAtlements are crDumbling dAown
For this I lAove I'll sEtill be theAre
When the dAust's so thick you could sDew a button Aon it
When my sAenses fail in this hDeavy aEir
If I'm scAared or tired it doDesn't really mAatter
For this I lAove I'll sEtill be thAere
[Chorus]
DaDrkness CAame, fiDerce and wAild
HDeld me lAike a chEild
TDhis could be the lAast night beEfore I go to Awar
TDhis could be my lEast night with yAou
When the daArkness comes from the cDold end of some sAteel
I'll thAink of you and your fDace so fEair
And if tAhe end comes and the aDngels come to gAreet me
I'll think of Ayou, I'll sEtill be tAhere
A soldiers lAife, I'll stEill be tAhere
For this I lAove, I'll stEill be tAhere
