On blood and sweat and tears we fought our fight Not for one moment we put faith aside We sailed across the seas of words and tried To bring those of our own, to make it through the line When the shadows intended to fall over us Then we managed to hold to the things that we trust When the shadows intended to fall over all that we feared We stood strong and persevered On blood and sweat and tears we lived our days Our aims were not too clear as we braved the haze For days and months and years we stood our stride You thought you rode the wave, you were dragged by the tide When the shadows intended to fall over us Then we managed to hold to the things that we trust When the shadows intended to fall over all that we feared We stood strong and persevered (blood and sweat and tears) We lived our days on blood (blood and sweat and tears) We lived our days on sweat (blood and sweat and tears) We lived our days on tears that we won't regret, no more
