The Longest Night by Tony Gibbs
All rights reserved © ℗ 2025 Tony Gibbs

The torches burn on broken bones,
Queens bravely fight, though half have gone.
Our banners torn, our voices low,
We face the dawn not all will know.

This is the longest night,
The longest night of all,
Our final prayers and vows,
The kingdom will not fall.
The kingdom must not fall.

The air is thick with smoke and flame,
No one knows who is to blame.
We dream of hands once soft and near,
Now doubts are all that we can hear.

This is the longest night,
The longest night of all,
Our final prayers and vows,
The kingdom will not fall.
The kingdom must not fall.

Tomorrow waits beyond the gate,
For those the dawn will consecrate.
If none remain, let songs recall
The queens who stood till shadows fall.

This is the longest night,
The longest night of all,
Our final prayers and vows,
The kingdom will not fall.
The kingdom must not fall.

In Real Life

Grandma talks about the good old days,
Same stories like a favourite hymn.
Her hands shake, but her eyes still blaze,
Sayin’, “Girl, don’t waste the life you’re in.”
She’d smile through every storm that came,
Find grace in every line and scar.
Now I see my own reflection change,
Don’t quite know who we are.

’Cause in real life, love can fade,
Dreams turn to bills we never paid.
You said forever — I paid the price,
Now I’m learning how to live my life.
In real life, I lost my way,
Thought I’d need you every day.
But Grandma’s voice cuts through the night —
“Make your peace, girl, and live it right.”

You’d roll in late, smelling like smoke,
Laugh it off — I’d play along.
I believed the lies you spoke,
Till I found out I was strong.
Now the TV hums where laughter was,
The dog don’t even lift his head.
And your new girl wears that cheap perfume —
I’ve outgrown what we had instead.

’Cause in real life, hearts get bruised,
Trust gets lost and pride gets used.
You said forever — then thought twice,
Left me drowning in your vice.
In real life, I’ll stand my ground,
Plant my roots in solid ground.
And Grandma whispers soft tonight —
“Make your peace, girl, and live it right.”

Maybe love’s just a passing flame,
Burns so bright, then fades away.
But somewhere in her trembling hands,
She taught me I can find my way.

In real life, I’m letting go,
Found my strength in what I know.
Grandma’s gone, but her truth remains —
You live, you lose, you rise again.
In real life, I see the light —
Make my peace, and live it right.
Yeah
