Brothers here I stand
Spread my wings and take command
The sky he justly planned
The boy become a man

After all this time
I tell myself that I’m
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I’m not that way inclined

Brothers if you hear
Raise your flags and make it clear
There is more to fear
If we wait for another year

After all this time
I tell-a repeat myself that I’m
Just passing through time

After all this time
I tell myself that I’m
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I’m not that way inclined

Brothers fight or fall
It’s man for man and one for all
No more can we crawl
Brothers, brothers hear the call

After all this time
I tell myself that I’m
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I’m not that way inclined

Brother brother
Brother brother

Brother fight or fall
It’s man for man and one for all

Brother brother
Brother brother

What you want?
We gotta fight for one another!
