lyrics

Welcome to not knowing
Welcome to a shared fear
Welcome to the end times/
We've been here for years and years
Welcome

Chorus

We got to be ready
To fight till the birth/
of the world we want (world we want)
We got to be ready/
To fight to the death
for the world we need (world we need)
Got to be ready (got to be)
Got to be ready (got to be)

This I know for sure
The calm before the storm is here
It's here
It's here.

Prepare to be a warrior
Prepare for some long nights.
Prepare to be impolite/ Prepare
But don't let them dim your light.
Prepare

We got to be ready
To fight till the birth/
of the world we want (world we want)
We got to be ready/
To fight to the death
for the world we need (world we need)
Got to be ready (got to be)
Got to be ready (got to be)

If you not ready. then its time to get ready (x4)

We got to be ready
To fight till the birth/
of the world we want (world we want)
We got to be ready
To fight to the death
for the world we need (world we need)
Got to be ready (got to be)
Got to be ready (got to be)

This I know for sure
The calm before the storm is here
It's here
It's here.
