We Will Not Die Lying Down
Written by: Doug Scharley
Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.
It pierces the air
We know it is there
Run to find cover
You have to stay still
Won't bend to its will
Cling to each other
The threat lingers on
Well after it's gone
Have to find shelter
Dig deep underground
Keep secret what's found
Die while we swelter
(Chorus)
No, we will not die lying down
We will choose our battleground
We will turn this fight around
Whoa yeah!
Now, if we take our final breath
We'll have died a noble death
Having fought for our success
With honor
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
The cries fill the night
There's no end in sight
Why must we suffer?
We're desperate for food
We won't be subdued
We have to be tougher
When evil strikes fear
The answer is clear
We stand together
They can't kill us all
We'll force a withdrawal
It's now or never
(Chorus)
No, we will not die lying down
We will choose our battleground
We will turn this fight around
Whoa yeah!
Now, if we take our final breath
We'll have died a noble death
Having fought for our success
With honor
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
We bend but don't break
We know what's at stake
Brace for the onslaught
They come in ten waves
To make us their slaves
We found their blind spot
The tide it has turned
The lessons we've learned
Surge on to victory
We've taken it back
Survived their attack
We own our history
(Chorus)
No, we will not die lying down
We will choose our battleground
We will turn this fight around
Whoa yeah!
Now, if we take our final breath
We'll have died a noble death
Having fought for our success
With honor
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
No, we will not die lying down
We will choose our battleground
We will turn this fight around
Whoa yeah!
Now, if we take our final breath
We'll have died a noble death
Having fought for our success
With honor
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
