[Verse 1] Life's uncertain, a rat-race of pain Endlessly searching for more Hopeless and needless, held back by the chains 'Til we can't take anymore Hold on, stay strong Breaking out from the past life fading No more, what for? All we got is to keep on praying Pray for the done for their lives in dismay Witness the final decay Suffering in silence for years we were blind But now we got something to say [Hook] Hold on, stay strong 'Til the end, not afraid of dying No more, what for? Nothing left but to keep on fighting [Pre-Chorus] United, incited, not misguided We'll fight through time before our one true destiny Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided This day foretold now here for all to see [Chorus] So free in the blue skies with time marches on Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time Cleansed in a kingdom of fire [Verse 2] Legions of darkness from beyond the grave Spill their blood under the sun Voices are calling with anger and rage The final war now has begun Hold on, stay strong 'Til the end, not afraid of dying No more, what for? Nothing left but to keep on fighting [Pre-Chorus] United, incited, not misguided We'll fight through time before our one true destiny Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided This day foretold now here for all to see [Chorus] So free in the blue skies with time marches on Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time Cleansed in a kingdom of unholy fire Hear our call, save us all Standing tall tonight [Bridge] The flame will slowly fade away The shadows of our lives We wash away the memories Before the last sunrise We'll keep holding on In times of changes Standing strong against the wind Until the end of time [Guitar Solo] [Hook] Hold on, stay strong 'Til the end, not afraid of dying No more, what for? Nothing left but to keep on fighting [Pre-Chorus] United, incited, not misguided We'll fight through time before our one true destiny Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided This day foretold now here for all to see [Chorus] So free in the blue skies with time marches on Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time Cleansed in a kingdom of unholy fire Hear our call, save us all Standing tall tonight Hear our call, save us all We're standing tall tonight
