The Night I Lost the Will to Fight Lyrics

[Chorus]
I need a catalyst
To rekindle the flame
That once burned within these fists
Where defeat remains

[Verse 1]
The night has fallen down the staircase

[Chorus]
I need a catalyst
To rekindle the flame
That once burned within these fists
Where defeat remains
One February night
We screamed our agonies
And I swear I tried to care
I tried
I tried

[Verse 2]
But the icicles hung down like prison bars

[Chorus]
I need a catalyst
To rekindle the flame
That once burned within these fists
Where defeat remains
One February night
We screamed our agonies
And I swear I tried to care
I tried
I tried
[Outro]
I lost the will to fight
The will to fight
(I lost the will to fight)
(I lost the will to fight)
(I lost it, I lost it)
(I lost the will to fight)
Fight!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
