Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deepest cut that can be healed
By the gun or by the sword
It's hope that you can turn yourself
Outside at the end of the war
The cold sweat sticks to your heart
Your mouth gets drier and drier
The battle inside rages on
Your pulse races higher and higher
[Verse 2]
(The sweetest victory)
I love you more than life itself
(The sweetest victory)
You give me strength to know myself
(Oh, sweet victory)
My soul is yours, and the glory is mine
(The sweetest victory)
My far-off stars will always shine
[Verse 3]
The toothlike nails rip me up
I can make it disappear
Time to forget has passed me by
There's no place to hide my fear
Hate and pain filled me up
Every minute takes longer and longer
A bead of sweat 'cause drops of blood
Make me stronger and stronger
[Verse 4]
(The sweetest victory)
I love you more than life itself
(The sweetest victory)
You give me strength to know myself
(Oh, sweet victory)
My soul is yours, and the glory is mine
(The sweetest victory)
My far-flung stars will always shine
[Verse 5]
The cold sweat sticks to your heart
Your mouth gets drier and drier
The battle inside rages on
Your pulse races higher and higher
[Verse 6]
Whoa, whoa, I love you more than life itself
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you give me strength to know myself
[Verse 7]
(The sweetest victory)
(The sweetest victory)
[Verse 8]
(The sweetest victory)
Whoa, I love you more than life itself
(The sweetest victory)
You give me strength to know myself
(Oh, sweet victory)
My soul is yours, the glory is mine
(The sweetest victory)
My far-flung stars will always shine
(The sweetest victory)
Will always shine
(The sweetest victory, the sweetest victory)
