Fighter

And I know, it's no life for me
And I know, it's no life for me

It's going to take you a long time
So you become a fighter
Then you sever the life line
To the seeds of desire

You become a fighter

And I know, it's no life for me
And I know, it's no life for me

It's going to take you a long time
So you become a fighter
Then you sever the life line
To the seeds of desire
You become a fighter





You become a fighter
