Well I just got back from a break in the fight I was weighing inheavy
but still feeling alright all I hear in the distance mines andshells here
come the sirens wailing another attack to be repelled do youthink
we're gonna make it? I don't know unless we try you could sithere
scared to move or we could take them by surprise it's submissionthat
they want it's surrender that they need when we're doing it theirway
their aims will be achieved
They're gonna come when you're not ready when you're not to
well-prepared they're gonna prey upon your weakness no man's
soul is ever spared you've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them
show them what it's all about this man is not for sale there willbe no
backing down
Chorus:
Stand up and fight and I'll stand up with you! We shall succeed
They won't get me they won't get me thought they never cease to
try they won't get me they won't get me I would rather fight anddie
they won't get me they won't get me well my friend will they getyou?
when they get you when they get you tell me what are you gonnado?
