Lyrics

Tell me my life is about to begin Tell me that I am a hero Promise me all of your violent dreams Light up your body with anger Now, when I give the word Ready to fight for your freedom Now, when I save the word Ready to fight for your freedom Now Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our lives Soon we'll have peace, every soldier will rest We'll spread out our kindnеss to all who our love now deservе Some of you are going to die Martyrs of course to the freedom I will provide Well, I'll give you the names of those you must kill All must die with their children Carry their heads to the palace of old Hang them high, let the blood flow Now, when I give the word, ready to fight for your freedom Now, when I give the word, ready to fight for your freedom Now, now, now, now Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our lives Soon we'll have peace, every soldier will rest We'll spread out our kindness to all who our love now deserve Some of you are going to die Martyrs of course to the freedom I will provide [Guitar Solo] WE HAVE WON WE HAVE WON Some of you are going to die Martyrs of course to the freedom and I will provide I I
