Open before you; the landscape of life    Vibrations shake your feet    Flashes over the horizon    As you chase what you seek    Dark parlous valleys    Lying in your way    Darkness surrounds you    And questions come with every step you take      Chorus:   The battle Rages on    Stand and be strong      Concussions shake the Earth    As smoke billows over head    Feeling beat and tired   Sometimes praying for death   Explosions ring your ears   From battles waged in life   Cling to your convictions   Preservation will keep you alive      Chorus:   The battle Rages on    Stand and be strong      Bridge:   Breath the breath of life   Speak to me assurance   those words I hide   Those words bring endurance      Chorus:   The battle Rages on    Stand and be strong
