I am waiting, and well prepared.

I've got a hammer, and a heart of glass,

I got a pocket, got no pill

If fear hasn't killed me yet, then nothing will.

All the suffering, and all the pain,

Never left a name or...

I'm in the war of my life,
		   C#m
At the core of my life,

I've got no choice but to fight 'til it's done.
