Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I fought this fight before
And lucked up on a win
My bravery done failed
My opposition failed
But now they're back again
[Verse 2]
And all of my fears
And all of my doubts
Are lacing their boots
And grabbing their guns
The war is on now
[Verse 3]
Oh (And they're marching in)
Oh (And they're marching in)
Oh (And they're marching in)
Ooh, I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
(And they're marching in) Oh, oh
[Verse 4]
Fear inside my brain (I'm terrified)
And doubt takes over love (Paralyzed)
Ooh, with darkness clouds the light
But I won't lose this fight
No giving in, no giving out, no
Even though all of my fears (All of my fears)
And all of my doubts (All of my doubts)
Are outside my door
Ready for war
Right here and now
[Verse 5]
Oh (And they're marching in)
Oh (And they're marching in)
Oh (And they're marching in)
Ooh, I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
(And they're marching in) Oh
[Verse 6]
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
[Verse 7]
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
[Verse 8]
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
[Verse 9]
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
[Verse 10]
(And they're marching in)
Oh (And they're marching in)
Oh (And they're marching in)
Ooh, I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
(And they're marching in) Oh, oh
