We’ll survive the pain
We’re singing…
Hey, You can’t count us out
We’ve been living up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the Dark Horses
We’re singing…
Hey! It’s not over now
We’ve been down but we’ve never been out
Yeah, we are the Dark Horses”

On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun,
When the last ship sails.”

And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead
Tonight in Jungleland”

Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender”
