[Martin: The song came About during a jam session with Jurgen,]

[We wanted to create a power hymn. then Frankie]

[and i had some more ideas and one night we finished the song]

[right over the phone Life is a fight and we are prepared.]



[vers:]

we are standing tall

we are standing straight

always be prepared

never be afraid never

will surrender never

will devine

hear our battle cry

till the end of time

[ref:]

we are the fighting sons

but we don't fight with guns

[vers:]

there's something you should know

there's something you should see

look into my eyes

be my enemy

up from the cradle

till they bury us

we are very loyal

loyal to the crust

[ref:]

we are the fighting sons

but we don't fight with guns

for all the world to see

wings of eternity
