Here we stand in the shadows
|
With the ghosts been and gone
|
And the night that surrounds us
|
Gives away to breaking dawn
|
If we live, we live standing
|
Side by side and heart to heart
|
The lines have been drawn
|
The cry has rung out
|
|
Long before the wretched
|
Writing on the wall
|
Nobody was listening
|
Nobody could hear our call
|
Living in the fringes
|
Seemed our best defence
|
Balking at the battle
|
Once before but never again
|
|
So we march over mountains
|
Knowing not what lies ahead
|
With the hope of a future
|
We brace ourselves for the end
|
But if we make it to old age
|
We'll strip our sleeves and show our scars
|
Let these wounds speak of our prize
|
|
Long before the wretched
|
Writing on the wall
|
Nobody was listening
|
Nobody could hear our call
|
Living in the fringes
|
Seemed our best defence
|
Balking at the battle
|
Once before but not again
|
|
Maybe they are millions
|
With more to call upon
|
We can be an army
|
We can take the whole world on
|
Not for god or glory
|
Or riches in the sun
|
Just to live forever
|
Always pushing upwards and on
|
|
Drawn in to battle test's the fate of the few
|
Drawn in to battle we're an army of two
|
With too much to lose
|
|
Long before the wretched
|
Writing on the wall
|
Nobody was listening
|
Nobody could hear our call
|
Living in the fringes
|
Seemed our best defence
|
Balking at the battle
|
Once before but not again
|
|
Maybe they are millions
|
With more to call upon
|
We could be an army
|
Take the f*ckin' whole lot on
|
Not for god or glory
|
Or riches in the sun
|
Just to live forever
|
Always pushing upwards and on
|
To victory!
|
Victory!
|
Victory!
