[English]
The war rages on
You'll be at my side
Through it all
Through hardships unseen
We still survive, fortified
Please don't pass me by
Can't you hear me calling out your name
Forgive the sins I do
Don't turn your back when I need you
The war rages on
When darkness comes
You're like a burning light
Through it all
When a storm knocks me down
You pull me from the depths
Time after time
Please don't pass me by
Can't you hear me calling out your name
Please forgive the things I do
Don't turn your back when I need you
The war rages on, I'm still here by your side
The light of the dawn in the darkest of nights
The war rages on, I'm still here by your side
The light of the dawn in the darkest of nights
Please don't pass me by
Can't you hear me calling out your name
Please forgive the things that I do
Don't turn your back when I need you
The war rages on
The war rages on
