Let's set our sights on victory

and hear the screaming choir

the enemy's approaching

ready, aim, fire!


bite the bullet

we'll fight until we die

bite the bullet

we'll fight until we die


hate echoes to eternity

why can't the silence overtake me?

i walk this tightrope of serenity

forever seems so far away


this world's a mass of empty graves & walking shadows 

we'll count our dead, & i'll bet they outnumber the living

so saddle up 'cause we know there is no surrender

& i swear i've seen the devil in their eyes


this world's a mass of empty graves & walking shadows 

but we ain't going down without a fight


the battle lines have been drawn

so pick a side & stand your ground

it's time to sink or swim

the trumpet's blowing

when will the war end?


Lord, prepare me for the war!
