Plot[]
"Take Back the Night" is a sequel to the story "Fallen Kingdom". A group of villagers from a desert village arrive at the king's castle to inspect the damage done to it during the previous Herobrine attacks. Inside, they find that the queen had lost her life, but the prince barely survived the ordeal. The villagers return to their village with the prince and bring the unconscious boy to the village elder. The elder becomes the prince’s caretaker shortly thereafter, and once the boy recovers, he begins adapting to his new life in the village: gathering water from a well, tending to his colt, and farming. Eventually, the elder takes the prince to a ravine, where he begins to train the prince in combat. At first, the prince struggles, but as he grows to adulthood, he gradually becomes more skillful in combat.
Once they finish their training, the two return back to the village, only to find it under attack by Zombie Pigmen from the Nether. The elder and the prince fight off the monsters to protect the village. While doing battle with a large Zombie Pigman, the elder retrieves a map from the monster. Suddenly, the Zombie Pigman returns to his feet and attacks the elder while he is reading the map, and tosses him against a Nether Portal before killing him with a mace. Horrified, the prince retaliates, killing the remainder of Zombie Pigmen and destroying the portal, but is devastated when he realizes the elder has died.
Later, during the elder’s burial ceremony, the prince finds the map the elder had left behind. With renewed courage, the prince grabs a diamond sword and sets out on his colt, which has grown to a full-fledged horse, to kill Herobine and avenge the deaths of his master as well as his kingdom. The prince travels through an icy landscape and a dense jungle before arriving at a volcanic area where Herobrine is located. After defeating a large obsidian golem, he enters Herobrine’s stronghold. The prince wages an intense battle with Herobrine before knocking him into a wall and finishing him off with his sword. The prince triumphantly leaves the castle on his horse.
Lyrics[]
Closet full of secrets and skeletons awakes but nothing's true
I used to own a castle now it's boxes that I have to move
Right here in the darkness there's nothing left for me to do
It's easier to run away but today
Today we got to
Cast the shadows out from sight
A final stand a shouting cry
All the wrongs now turned to right
So fight the past
Take back the night
And call upon the torch tonight
To bring out all the ghosts to light
Because at last we have to go it's time
To take back the night
To take back the night
Being chased by monsters to face head on or be consumed
Reaching out for something grasping on to nothing to lose
Paybacks left too long unpaid but today
Today we got to
Cast the shadows out from sight
A final stand a shouting cry
All the wrongs now turned to right
So fight the past
Take back the night
And call upon the torch tonight
To bring out all the ghosts to light
Because at last we have to go it's time
To take back the night
To take back the night
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
To take back the night
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (To take back the night)
So fight the past, take back the night
Take back the night
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
To take back the night
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And call upon the torch tonight
To bring out all the ghosts to light
Because at last we have to go it's time
To take back the night (whoa oh oh oh)
