Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah
In glory a soldier I stand till the end
A golden revolver I hold in my hand
The trigger that I never squeeze
The war that brings me to my knees
I'm tired of fighting for peace
When I am alone on the front line
I need you to stand next to me
Baby cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop
Drop down your defenses I'm raising my flag
This fighting is hopeless we need this to end
It's going too far don't know where it began
We're hurting each other and I can't pretend
I'm trying to help you to see
The casualties that we both lead
It's all so unnecessary
Can't you hear me scream
Baby cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh
Uh uh uh oooh (Fire...)
Rolling out
White flag. I surrender
Hear me now
Make it stop. We can do better
Pain and hurt
Living in fear. Wasted energy
In the end
What is it worth. What is a legacy
Rolling out
White flag. I surrender
Hear me now
Make it stop. We can do better
Pain and hurt
Living in fear. Wasted energy
In the end
What is it worth. What is a legacy
Follow me now
I'm gonna announce. Somebody help me
I need you now
Why cant you see. Got to believe me
Fighting for peace
Need a release. Want you to move me
I'm on your side
Swallow your pride. You can confide in me
Army of one
Rise of the sun. Shining for all to see
Enemy's none
Victory's won. No negativity
We can be free
We are the king. Who owns our destiny
Baby cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop
