[Verse 1] Here we stand in the shadows With the ghosts been and gone And the night that surrounds us Gives away to breaking dawn If we live, we live standing Side by side and heart to heart The lines have been drawn, the cry has rung out [Chorus] Long before the wretched writing on the wall Nobody was listening, nobody could hear our calls Living in the fringes seemed our best defence Balking at the battle, once before but never again [Verse 2] So we march over mountains Knowing not what lies ahead With the hope of a future We brace ourselves for the end But if we make it to old age We'll strip our sleeves and show our scars Let these wounds speak of our prize [Chorus] Long before the wretched writing on the wall Nobody was listening, nobody could hear our calls Living in the fringes seemed our best defence Balking at the battle, once before but not again Maybe they are millions with more to call upon We can be an army, we can take the whole world on Not for god or glory or riches in the sun Just to live forever, always pushing upward and on [Bridge] Drawn in to battle, test the fate of the few Drawn in to battle, we're an army of two With too much to lose (Never again, not again) (Never again, not again) [Chorus] Long before the wretched writing on the wall Nobody was listening, nobody could hear our call Living in the fringes seemed our best defence Balking at the battle, once before but not again Maybe they are millions with more to call upon We could be an army, take the fuckin' whole lot on Not for god or glory or riches in the sun Just to live forever, always pushing upward and on [Outro] To victory! Victory! Victory!
