[Verse 1]
How does it feel out on the ice?
You speak to the crowd but nobody hears
It's not a dream and you are no Christ
And you're not alone come in from the fear

[Chorus]
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you want to lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're going to make this stand
The finest hour that we see

[Verse 2]
When did our choice become erased?
Where is the violence in this crowd?
Now that our voice has been replaced
With a silence that screams out loud

[Chorus]
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you want to lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see, yeah

[Chorus]
Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you want to lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

[Chorus]
Take it back
Take back the life that you want to lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

[Outro]
Yeah... The finest hour that we see
The finest hour that we see
We're going to make this stand
The finest hour that we see
Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
