Step Into Light Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brothers, I'm at the gate
I no longer feel the pain, but I cry
Please let them know at home
Know that I love them so they will cry

[Chorus]
Heard on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Heard on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Step into light

[Verse 2]
Heroes don't kill for fame
Religion or any names, and they cry
Cowards are made of blood
Drain them for what they got, they will cry

[Chorus]
Heard on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Heard on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Step into light

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Heard on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Heard on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Step into light, ah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song, I believe, is about bravery and cowardice on the battlefield, focusing on the aspect that every brave soul faces on the fields of war: Fight and die with honor, or die as nothing but a sack of blood. They mention requesting that their loved ones be informed of their love, and that while they no longer feel pain, they still cry in the absence of their loved ones. Real heroes don't care about fame or kill for religion, but only for their family's safety, but the cowards are not so much called as such because they don't want to fight, but fight because they want to kill.

Heros kill for their family and their country's safety, cowards do it for fame, profits, or in a God's name. Heroes are acceptant of walking towards the light when they fight, but the cowards won't be going there like they imagine.
