[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:]</i>
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:]</i>
we are the fighting sons
but we don't fight with guns
for all the world to see
wings of eternity
