 Vs.1 When the night has fallen 

And our smiles quickly fade 

When the love we held so close 

Was instantly torn away 

When the lights are flashing 

And the tears begin to fall 

When we wait for all the sounds 

To finally go away from us all 

Pre-Chorus 

But in the blink of an eye 

Our hearts slowly died 

As we felt our pulse 

49 times 

Chorus: 

We will never hide, we will never run 

Stand strong and always fight 

Break free and always love 

Don't lose sight of who we are 

We will never break, we will never die 

We were made for more than just tonight 

Takes more than just a gun 

More than you to tear us down 

So let your colours fly free 

We Are Forever strong 

We are forever 

Vs.2 When your dreams were quickly shattered 

When you were not prepared to fight 

When you were safe inside the shadows 

And you were dancing through the night 

When every moment feels like hours 

And all the shots rang out again 

When our lives are held for ransom 

As he holds it in his hands 

Pre-Chorus 

And in the blink of an eye 

Our hearts slowly died 

As we felt our pulse 

49 times 

Chorus: 

We will never hide, we will never run 

Stand strong and always fight 

Break free and always love 

Don't lose sight of who we are 

We will never break, we will never die 

We were made for more than just tonight 

Takes more than just a gun 

More than you to tear us down 

So let your colours fly free 

We are forever strong 

Orlando 

We are, we are, Orlando 

So in the blink of an eye

Our hearts slowly died 

As we felt our pulse

12. červena 2016 dvaceti-devíti letý Omar Mateen zabil 9 lidí a zranil 53 dalších při teroristickém útoku v Orlandu v gay klubu, nazvaném Pulse, na Floridě. Policie ho vypátrala a zabila po třech hodinách pátrání. 

Dodnes je to připomínáno jako velmi smutný okamžik v novodobé LGBT historii.
