lyrics

Fighting

Out of the wood
Into the field
Where lost souls clash
Where Heaven and hell are both revealed

Heaven for some
To hell with the rest
To protect and to serve
We exchange our very best

Fighting for our lives
Our entire way of life
Fighting for we know
The only way to save it is to fight

Courage in the heart
Pounding the drums
Is this the day
Jesus comes?

Listen for the order
The Captain gives
This is for your family
And where your family lives

Fighting for the promise
Of peace someday
Fighting's all we know
It's the only way

The calm before the storm
Is always deadly still
How many of these bastards
Do I get to kill?

They tell our same jokes
They sing our same Hymns
If he comes for what is mine
I'll put a bullet into him

Fighting to defend
The motherland
Fighting for otherwise
They'll snatch it right from our hands

Who'll raise the flag
If this man falls?
Who'll lift it high
In the face of cannon balls?

I stare into your picture
At night that's all I do
Though I walk this dark valley
My heart is set on You

Fighting 'fore all we stand for
Is uprooted and gone
Fighting for glory
Fighting for a new dawn

Along the enemy line
Evil patrols
They got evil ways
And eviler goals

These are tormented men
I'll release their souls
I'll set 'em free
In a rain of bullet holes

Fighting for honor
Fighting for the brave
Fighting for our comrade
In the unmarked grave

The men I walk beside
I'll walk with 'til the end
It's the honor of my life
To call them friend

Men with hearts of iron
And balls of steel
Whoever come against us
Got the raw end of the deal

Fighting 'gainst aggression
Fighting 'gainst a threat
You want to take from us?
We'll see how close you get

Don't tell me these ain't heroes
These are giants of men
Men like these
We may never see again

For here there are no victors
And there really are no sides
Just courage in the face of power
And the rising tide

Fighting for our country
Answering the call
If someone doesn't answer
There'd be no country at all
