Well it's time to get up
It's time to live
It's time to take
Nothing left to give
Strike a blow
We're on the rise
Force to win
Hear our battle cries
We came to win
Fight 'til the end
Can't speak for the other guy
I stand tough until I die
We came to win
We are warriors, rock warriors
Saviors of the steel
So glorious, rock warriors
Play, play this battlefield
We don't give up
And we don't quit
I can't hold back
Now this is it
I turned a cheek now
So step aside
Won't turn again
To lose all pride
Electric weapons
Leather shields
Forcing people
How to feel
Chanting hordes
No compromise
Tell the world, tell the world
We're on the rise Rock warriors
Warriors
