STAND UP The time has come to make the standAgainst evil and all it has torn apart The time has come to battle as one With love in your hearts, take him on Stand up and fight! Armor, desk, and sword unite Rise up and fight! For the place that you call your home tonight Make no mistake, this night will be long Everything you are will help you survive No houses anymore, we all stand up as one When the day dawns red, will he be done? Stand up and fight! Armor, desk, and sword unite Rise up and fight! For the place that you call your home tonight He’ll sacrifice himself for you Would you do the same? The ending is now, we’ll battle no more In your brave hearts, carry his name!
Track Notes The chorus came from the scenes of McGonagall urging the suits of armor and the desks to defend Hogwarts. I love the gang vocals, provided by my brother Adam, his brother-in-law Mike, my wife Sue, and my daughter Rebecca (making her recorded debut). I still love old 80's metal; Fates Warning, for sure. I can't play double kick to save my life, so apologies for that :-) The segue from the bridge into the guitar solo still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, which is a source of constant pride.
