[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
