This Is War

Verse 1
You had all your life to run and hide,
Built your walls tall, buried truth inside.
Turned your back while the fire grew,
Now the flames are reaching you.
Every lie that you justified,
Every promise that you denied,
All the ghosts that you kept in store
Are kicking down your door.
Pre-Chorus
No more shadows, no retreat,
No more crawling at defeat,
The line is drawn across the floor—
Chorus
This is war.
You can’t run anymore.
You had your chance to close the door,
Now step up and fight.
This is war.
Settle the score.
You had all your life to run and hide,
Now stand in the light.
Verse 2
You fed the doubt, you nursed the fear,
Whispered weakness in your ear.
Blamed the world for every scar,
But you know who you are.
Every second you wasted away,
Waiting for a better day,
Well the reckoning’s at your feet—
And it won’t accept defeat.
Pre-Chorus
No more silence, no disguise,
No more looking through closed eyes,
The truth is crashing through the door—
Chorus
This is war.
You can’t run anymore.
You had your chance to close the door,
Now step up and fight.
This is war.
Settle the score.
You had all your life to run and hide,
Now stand in the light.
Bridge
Steel your heart, draw the line,
This is your moment, this is your time.
No savior’s coming to break your fall,
You’re the weapon, you’re the wall.
Bleed your fear onto the ground,
Let the silence hear the sound
Of a soul that won’t ignore
What it’s fighting for.
Final Chorus
This is war.
You can’t run anymore.
The past is pounding at your door—
Now step up and fight.
This is war.
Nothing like before.
You had all your life to run and hide—
Now win your war tonight.
