Tonight We Fight

from American Glory by The Stink

/

lyrics

With our eyes on the skies
And our minds on the guns
We will fight for our lives
And the lives of our sons and our wives
Can't hide and there's nowhere to run
So tonight we fight til it's done

There was a time, we were warriors
We were strong, We were free
Every fight, We were victorious
It was glorious, as it should be
But all things change eventually
As was the case with our land
A land that we ruled for a century
But essentially lost our command

With a spark of light
And a crash of thunder
In the dark of night
We were torn asunder

We rebuilt from the tragedy
Here in our homes, we would stay
We held fast to our humanity
But calamity was not far away
Then on the night of the festival
That's when they came once again
And the sight was incredible
Unforgettable for me and my men

With a spark of light
And a crash of thunder
In the dark of night
We were torn asunder

With our eyes on the skies
And our minds on the guns
We will fight for our lives
And the lives of our sons and our wives
Can't hide and there's nowhere to run
So tonight we fight til it's done


Now here we are, just the three of us
Ready to stand, ready to fight
We're still alive, they haven't beaten us
Now if we could just live thru the night
We'll strike back with ferocity
We'll strike fear with our song
And when we've attacked this monstrosity
Who could possibly
say we were wrong?

With a spark of light
And a crash of thunder
In the dark of night
We will take them under

With our eyes on the skies
And our minds on the guns
We will fight for our lives
And the lives of our sons and our wives
Can't hide and there's nowhere to run
So tonight we fight til it's done
