Darkest Hour
 作词 : Adrian Smith/Bruce Dickinson
 作曲 : Adrian Smith/Bruce Dickinson
 We buried our sons, we turned and fled
 No growing old, the glorious dead
 But we came back because one man said
 Now on the beaches the blood runs red

 I faced them down, the only one
 I stood alone and warned the day would come
 But they were wrong, appeasers every one
 And not for the last time, we all stand alone

 I watch the sun move away as I embrace the night
 And my black dog has its day for six long years you shall not pass
 Barbarians at the gates, we will overcome

 Here I stand in a serenade of glory
 Naked by the throne of kings
 You sowed the wind and now you reaped
 The whirlwind before the dawn
 The darkest hour

 To blaze in glory like a dying sun
 One last burning giant till Jupiter moves on
 Turn the ploughshares into swords
 You sons of Albion awake defend this sacred land

 Here I stand in a serenade of glory
 Naked by the throne of kings
 You sowed the wind and now you reaped the whirlwind
 Before the dawn the darkest hour
 The darkest hour

 Here I stand in a serenade of glory
 Naked by the throne of kings
 You sowed the wind and now you reaped the whirlwind
 Before the dawn the darkest hour

 Here I stand in a serenade of glory
 Naked by the throne of kings
 You sowed the wind and now you reaped the whirlwind
 Before the dawn the darkest hour
 Before the dawn the darkest hour
