Fight The Fade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We will fight, we don't run
Stand up unified and joined as one
It's not over we've just begun
There's no stopping us now and there's no turning back
This is, the moment we've been waiting for
The time to strike, the time for war
This is unlike anything we've seen before
I see, the black clouds up in the sky
They're breaking, time to do or die
We lift, our banner to heaven high
We will rise, We will rise
There's no stopping us now and there's no turning back
This is, the moment we've been waiting for
The time to strike, the time for war
This is unlike anything we've seen before
Get your feet up off the floor
This is, the moment we've been waiting for
The time to strike, the time for war
This is unlike anything we've seen before
Get your feet up off the floor
ooh oh oh oh
ooh oh oh oh
It's out time to shine
Join the battle lines
It's our time to shine
Join the battle lines
It's out time to shine
Join the battle lines
It's out time to shine
Join the battle lines
This is, the moment we've been waiting for
The time to strike, the time for war
This is unlike anything we've seen before
Get your feet up off the floor
This is, the moment we've been waiting for
The time to strike, the time for war
Get your feet up off the floor
