  • I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
    I'm not alone
    I wonder if these heavy eyes, can face the unknown
    When I close my eyes I realize
    You'll come my way
    I'm standing in the night alone
    Forever together, oh

    We're the dream warriors
    Don't wanna dream no more
    We're the dream warriors
    And maybe tonight
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone

    I feel the touch comin' over me
    I can't explain
    I hear the voices callin' out
    Callin' my name
    It's the same desire to feel the fire
    That's comin' your way
    I'm standing in the night alone
    Forever together, oh

    We're the dream warriors
    Don't wanna dream no more
    We're the dream warriors
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone
    We're the dream warriors (dream warriors)
    Ain't gonna dream no more
    And maybe tonight
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone

    Sweet revenge, the bitter end
    This time
    Break the spell of illusion
    Bound together waiting for you

    Dream warriors
    Don't want to dream no more
    We're the dream warriors
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone
    We're the dream warriors (dream warriors)
    Ain't gonna dream no more
    We're the dream warriors (dream warriors)
    And maybe tonight
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone
    (Dream warriors)
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone
    (Dream warriors)
    Forever
    (Dream warriors)
    Maybe tonight you'll be gone
    Dream warriors

  • AnonymousI feel like as I listen to dream warriors now as a dokken fan 30 years after taking to them via tooth and nail cassette, it has a really perfect mix of how we'd grown to know dokken thru such ballads like Alone Again, Into The Fire, Just got lucky, it's not love, Jaded Heart, but also more raw and edgy rocking numbers like Kiss of Death, tooth and nail, turn on the action, Paris is burning, when heaven comes down or lightning strikes again or standing in the shadows. All in all it was a great record and fit into their live setlist perfectly
  • Joel Gunderson from Duluth, MnI wouldn't classify Dokken as "heavy metal". Especially this song.
  • Bradley from Winchester, NhThanks to this song, all future "Elm Street" movies had a heavy metal song in the soundtracks.
  • Tom from Cleveland, OhGeorge Lynch played guitar on "Little Drummer Boy" on the Eagle record's 2008 Christmas compilation - "We Wish You A Metal Xmas and A Headbanging New Year" which also featured Dug Pinnick on vocals; Billy Sheehan on bass, an Simon Phillips on drums...
  • Johnna from Glens Falls, NyDon Dokken didn't wear a wig.
  • Jeff from Austin, TxDon Dokken's wig really looks great in this video.
  • Lester from New York City, NyGreat album. 'Mr. Scary' and 'Cry of the Gypsy' are senstional songs. George Lynch is a great guitar player.
  • Anne from Dodge City, KsYeah, it's one of those great songs that gets overshadowed by bigger hits from the eighties.
  • Ryan from Ray, Mii dont know about the rest of you guys, but i love this song (george lynch's solo is classic)
