Invincible
Lyrics:
[English]
Sing along, we're strong, we're invincible
I'm sick of being a prisoner
In my head, I thought I'd never learn
With a spoonful of agony
I swallowed every lie that you told me
You wanna stay and keep me half afraid
And make me lose my mind in this mental cage
But my will's not easy enough to break
Finally, I don't have to feel your pain
You pushed me down one last time
Go to hell for God's sake, you're pitiful
My heart, my soul — I'm in control
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
Fight like no one's fought before
This is the war to end all wars
Clawed my way through the blood and dirt
This is the last time I'll feel the hurt
And out of the dark
Turned my wounds into battle scars
You wanna stay and keep me half afraid
And make me lose my mind in this mental cage
But my will's not easy enough to break
Finally, I don't have to feel your pain
You pushed me down one last time
Go to hell for God's sake, you're pitiful
My heart, my soul — I'm in control
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
We're the only ones with the power
To take a stand and make our life ours
We're the only ones with the power
To take a stand and make our life ours
We'll fight like no one's fought before
This is the war to end all wars
You pushed me down one last time
Go to hell for God's sake, you're pitiful
My heart, my soul — I'm in control
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
Sing along we're strong, we're invincible
