Rise To Fight Songtext

Rise To Fight Songtext
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin'
Rise to fight another damn day
I was a young man of 16 years
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
Me mother had begged me not to go
But me heart belongs to the rifle and the road
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin'
Rise to fight another damn day
The empire made a grave mistake
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
By taking a gift not meant to harm
Their war machines got a glowing lucky charm
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it's the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin′
Rise to fight another damn day
Then one dark day in Somerton
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
The people said they could take no more
So the streets ran red, there were bodies by the score
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin'
Rise to fight another damn day
As a private in the service I made my stand
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
We marched halfway to Myrtleglade
And we set up camp by the river in the shade
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin'
Rise to fight another damn day
Me regiment awoke to the flash of blue
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
Those mixers took what they could find
′Twas the life of a sister and the leg I left behind
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it's the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin′
Rise to fight another damn day
It's been a long year since I got back home
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
This stump may ache when'er it rains
But the songs of rebellion take away my pain
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin′
Rise to fight another damn
Rise to fight another damn
Rise to fight another damn day
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin'
Rise to fight another damn day
I was a young man of 16 years
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
Me mother had begged me not to go
But me heart belongs to the rifle and the road
(Ay, oway, oway)
Take one step, make another wish
Die tonight or it′s the long way home
Fire or run when you hear the other comin'
Rise to fight another damn day
The empire made a grave mistake
(Oway, oway, oway oh)
By taking a gift not meant to harm
Their war machines got a glowing lucky charm

Take one step, make another wish

Rise to fight another damn
Rise to fight another damn
Rise to fight another damn day
