(Amanda)
The dragon horde comes pouring through the smoke
A thousand claws and hungry eyes
They fill the field from end to end
Like a living tide beneath the skies
(Elizabeth)
The soldiers form a ragged line
And hold as long as mortal men can do
But when the fighting closes in
I always find my way to you
(Both: chorus)
Back to back, side by side
Standing where the danger's at
When the whole world falls away
Somehow we end up back to back
You cover me while I reload
I hold the line when your rifle cracks
The horde can never break us down
When we're standing back to back
(Elizabeth)
The boys all swear it's sorcery
The way we know just where to be
One look, one nod, a shouted word
And every shot finds what we see
(Amanda)
Before they reach the barricades
Before they tear the ranks apart
You call the targets from the smoke
And somehow know what's in my heart
(Both: chorus)
Back to back, side by side
Standing where the danger's at
When the whole world falls away
Somehow we end up back to back
You cover me while I reload
I hold the line when your rifle cracks
The horde can never break us down
When we're standing back to back
(Bridge – alternating)
(Amanda:)
How do you always know I'm there?
(Elizabeth:)
How do you know when I need help?
(Amanda:)
Across the thunder and the fire—
(Elizabeth:)
Across the screams and battle yells—
(Amanda:)
I hear your voice.
(Elizabeth:)
I see your hand.
(Amanda:)
And there you stand.
(Both:)
There you stand.
(Final Chorus)
Back to back, side by side
Through the darkness, through attack
Dragons, drakes, and all their spawn
Have learned to fear our counterstrike
When the last shell has been fired
And the final banners crack
We'll still be standing, you and I
Forever fighting back to back
(Outro)
The horde may come a thousand strong
The battlefield may fade to black
But never once have we stood alone
Because we've always been...
Back to back.
