We Are the Fight

We are the fight
we are what’s wrong
we are what’s right
We are the devil’s bullets
and god’s song
After two thousand years
it’s been too long

We are the fight
They give us doubts
but they give us might
Without the worst of us
we would lose the best
But we’re still hanging on
until we fail our test

We are the fight
We are the weapon
and we are the shield
We are no better 
than the guns we wield
No, we’re nothing worse
We’re just the fight
