 Come out angels,  come out ghosts,
 Come out darkness,  bring everyone you know.
 I'm not running,  I'm not scared,
 I am waiting,  and well prepared.
I'm  in the war of my life,
 At the door of my life,
 Out of time and there's nowhere  to run...
I've  got a hammer, and a heart of glass,
 I got to  know right now, which walls to smash.
 I got a pocket,  got no pill
 If fear hasn't killed  me yet, then nothing will.
All  the suffering,  and all  the pain,
Never  left a name  or...
I'm  in the war of my life,
 At the door of my life,
 Out of time and there's nowhere  to run.
I'm  in the war of my life,
 At the core of my life,
 I've got no choice but to fight  'til it's done.
No  more suffering.
No  more pain.
Never  again.
 Clean, with lots of ambience and mild detune / reversing effect.

I'm  in the war of my life,
 At the door of my life,
 Out of time and there's nowhere  to run.  Oh...
 I'm in the war of my life.
 I'm at the core of my life.
 Got no choice but to fight  'til it's done.
 So fight on,  fight on everyone;  fight on.
 Got no choice but to fight  'til it's done.
 Fight on,  fight on everyone.
 Fight on,  got no choice, but it's  a fight 'til it's done.
 So fight on...
