Biff Byford said in an interview that the song was about Phil Lynott. Phil died around the time he wrote the song and he knew him and wanted to write something for all the musicians that had passed on.
Requiem
Lyrics
Somewhere in the night
A candle burns for you
The eternal flame
The light keeps shining on
Your music is immortal
It's stood the test of time
You're gone but not forgotten
You walk with us
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
This song's a celebration
Of what you gave to us
The legacy you left still marches on
Still they play your music
All around the world
Blasting through the airwaves
To the stars
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
The legacy you left
Will never die
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember, woah oh
We will remember
They were born to rock and roll
We will remember
