Come out angels
Come out ghosts
Come out darkness
Bring everyone you know
I'm not running
And I'm not scared
I am waiting and well prepared
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I've got a hammer
And a heart of glass
I got to know right now
Which walls to smash
I got a pocket
Got no pills
If fear hasn't killed me yet
Then nothing will
All the suffering
And all the pain
Never left a name, oh
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I'm in the war of my life
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
No more suffering
No more pain
Never again
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run, oh
I'm in the war of my life
I'm at the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
So fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on everyone, (I won't run)
Fight on (I won't stop for anyone)
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
Fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on everyone (I won't run)
Fight on (I won't stop for anyone
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
So fight on (I won't give up)
Fight on
