Stand and Fight

song-cover

Stand and Fight

Lonely hearted hunter don't say nothing

The hunger and the hurt

Got only one law

Never mind your words

Unseen, unheard, unsung, undone

Ain't bot one place left to run

Stand up, stand and fight

Undercover creature that don't see sunshine

Make it in the dark

Don't think twice

Never mind making nice

Black eyes, black sights, black magical rites tonight

There comes a time, babe

Stand up, stand and fight

Don't you worry 'bout me little darling

No, I ain't breaking

I'm shaking and aching

'Cause I can't stand waiting

There comes a time to stand and fight

Maximum destruction

Blood red deadheads

Tearing it up, wearing it down

Never mind my name

I'm unclaimed, unnamed and unashamed

I'd like to say

Fan the flames

Stand and fight

You ain't doing nobody no kind of favors

Lying around like a rug on the floor

Sooner or later you've got to stand up

And say you won't take it any more

Stand up, stand and fight
