[Verse 1]
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight back
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 2]
Lies, you're not one of them
You can try
You're not one of them
Try, you're not one of them
You can try
They want to take it away from you
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 1]
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight
Promise me you're never the victim
Promise me you have to fight back
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 3]
Lies, you don't want to remember
Their lies, you don't want to remember
You try, but you don't want to remember
Their lies, they want to take it away from you

They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away
They want to take it all away from you
[Bridge]
Ask me no more questions tell me no more lies
Haunted blood tastes better now
Haunted blood tastes better now
The wires have been cut and the signal has been lost
Haunted blood of the innocent
Haunted blood of the innocent
[Refrain]
You have to fight right now
You have to fight
[Verse 4]
Honestly, you're never the victim
Honestly, you have to fight
Honestly, you're never the victim
Honestly, you have to fight
