Rise To Fight
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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-ee)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Thе empire made a gravе mistake
(Oway, oway, oway-oh)
By taking a gift not meant to harm
Their war machines got a glowing lucky charm
(Ay, oway, oway-ee)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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 store
(Ay, oway, oway-ee)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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-ee)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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-ee)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 6]
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-ee)
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Rise to fight another damn
Rise to fight another damn day
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
[Verse 1]
I was a young man of 16 years
(Oway, oway, oway-oh)
Me mother had begged me not to go
