[Verse 1]
A brood of vipers, they are scheming as the west winds blow
They are conspiring from below
A raging fire from the depths of hell, a wicked foe
Unleash the tiger, take control
[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to decide
Do not play the fool, so
[Chorus]
Fight for your life, can't you see what's coming?
Fight for your mind, this is war
Fight from inside and believe in something
Don't compromise who you are
[Verse 2]
An army of shadows, they are waiting for the battle call
Bloodthirsty demons of the mind
They will unravel, if you let them, evеrything you are
And storm the castle from insidе
[Pre-Chorus]
So open your eyes, so
[Chorus]
Fight for your life, can't you see what's coming?
Fight for your mind, this is war
Fight from inside and believe in something
Don't compromise who you are
[Bridge]
Scheming, haunting, waiting, taunting
Taking every good man down
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
A raging fire from the depths of hell, a wicked foe
Unleash the tiger, take control
Yeah
[Chorus]
Fight for your life, can't you see what's coming?
Fight for your mind, this is war
Fight from inside and believe in something
Don't compromise who you are

Myles Kennedy:
This came from a dream. It was like the universe dropped it on me. It really pertains to struggles from the inside, like self-doubt, anxiety, or tension. You’re waging war within yourself.

Mark Tremonti:
The riffs, the melodies, and the lyrics are just striking. Since it’s heavier, everybody assumes it was one of mine, but that started with Myles.
