Requiem (We Will Remember) Lyrics

Somewhere in the night a candle burns for you
The eternal flame the light keeps shining on
Your music is immortal it stood the test of time
You're gone but not forgotten, you walk with us

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

This song's a celebration of what you gave to us
The legacy you left still marches on
But still they play your music all around the world
Blasting through the airwaves to the stars

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
The legacy you left will never die

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea

We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh

(Repeat to end)

Cover art for Requiem (We Will Remember) lyrics by Saxon

According to the official video for the track: "This song is dedicated to the memory of the many artists and performers who left behind a great legacy... We will remember!" In his memoir, Biff Byford says he was thinking specifically of Phil Lynott - whom he knew - and Bon Scott. It is about remembering great rock musicians at their best. Biff said he was disdainful of some of the poor quality posthumous Hendrix releases: "I turned the whole band onto AC/DC but I don't want to hear Bon Scott singing Christmas carols that someone once taped in the studio."
