The Fight
RASMUS The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the dead of night
Right before for the fight
Clouds are gathering for the storm
Destiny decides who will live or die
I've been waiting for this moment
It's time for the battle
Take me home
I might never get my story
Carved in stone
But I will rise again
The fight is to the end
Pounding of the drums of war
Turns your tears to mud
Rivers turns to blood
If you live to see another day
Take another breathe
Make it life or death
I've been waiting for this moment
It's time for the battle
Even if I never make it
Take me home
I might never get my story
Carved in stone
But I will rise again
The fight is to the end
Give me strength to carry on
'till my life is done
Everybody wants the glory
But you better remember
The fight is to the end
The fight is to the end
