Lyrics
You draw your line in the sand
So I'm crossing over again
You brag that you’re a grenade
So I pull your pin and I wait
The time will come
When your power is gone
Yeah, I might die in a day
But I'm gonna die anyway
I'm gonna stand my ground
Even if they back down
'Cause I don’t care what you say anymore
So what, you raise your voice?
I’m screaming back my choice
'Cause I sure ain't scared of you anymore
What’s a life without a cause
What’s the point of drawing straws
They say that I am a fool
But I’ll do what I have to do
A time will come
When this war is won
Yeah, I might die in a day
But I’m gonna die anyway
I'm gonna stand my ground
Even if they back down
'Cause I don’t care what you say anymore
So what, you raise your voice?
I’m screaming back my choice
'Cause I sure ain’t scared of you anymore
I've seen a dying man
Pleading for one more chance
Only to fade to black
And that’s why I’m going back
I'm gonna stand my ground
Even if they back down
'Cause I don’t care what you say anymore
So what, you raise your voice?
I’m screaming back my choice
'Cause I sure ain’t scared of you anymore
No, I'm not scared of you anymore
