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 and walking shadows
we'll count our dead, and I'll bet they outnumber the living
so saddle up 'cause we know there is no surrender
and i swear I've seen the devil in their eyes

this world's a mass of empty graves and walking shadows
but we ain't going down without a fight

the battle lines have been drawn out
so pick a side and 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!
