[Lyrics]

(1) + (Intro Lead)

(1) Come out Angels
Come out Ghosts
Come out Darkness
Bring everyone you know
I'm not running
I'm not scared
I am waiting and well prepared
I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of Time and there's no where to run

(1) I've got a hammer
And a heart of glass
I got to know right now
Which walls to smash
(Verse 2 lead)
I got a pocket
Got no pill
If fear hasn't killed me yet
Then nothing will

(2) All the suffering
And all the pain
Never left a name

(1) I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's nowhere to run
I'm in the war of my life
At the core of my life
I've got no choice but to fight 'til it's done

(2) No more suffering
No more pain
Never again

(1) + (Solo)

(3) I'm in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there's no where to run

(1) I'm in the war of my life
I'm at the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
So Fight on, fight on everyone, so fight on
Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done

(1) I'm in the war of my life
I'm at the core of my life
I've got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
