Lyrics
[Intro] I stand my ground. (Alone in the darkness.) Don't make a sound. (But i'm not voiceless.) I'll break these chains. (I won't admit defeat.) I will forge ahead. (This is not conceit.) [Chorus] Going strong. Fighting on. We stand in fire but we never flinch. Keep moving on. Steady son. War is hell but war's my bitch. I hear the screams. Calling me. I close my eyes and see the face. The falling shells. The angry yells. Of my past I can't erase. [Verse 1] Marching through fire, I feel the pain. I hear their voices, every time it rains. I see the smoke rising. I feel it's sting. I can't keep from twitching over every thing. I'm numb but not broken, just angry and scared. I look for tomorrow, I say my prayers. I see my friends faces, wonder if they'll be there. Dawn's never a promise but a hope we dare. [Prechorus] So when it comes to a fight, I will Never. Back. Down. I know the cost, I will soldier on...so i'll keep- [Chorus] Going strong. Fighting on. We stand in fire but we never flinch. Keep moving on. Steady son. War is hell but war's my bitch. I hear the screams. Calling me. I close my eyes and see the face. The falling shells. The angry yells. Of my past I can't erase. [Drum break] [Verse 2] I wake up screaming, throat like shards of glass. Even in dreaming, I can't escape the past. Some say I murder but what they can't see. I stand between them and the enemy. Some spit and mock and act the fool. I have my pride, I can bear that too. They never think how it's affecting me. I shed my blood to keep freedom free. [Chorus] Going strong. Fighting on. We stand in fire but we never flinch. Keep moving on. Steady son. War is hell but war's my bitch. I hear the screams. Calling me. I close my eyes and see the face. The falling shells. The angry yells. Of my past I can't erase.
