The gates of hell
Shall not prevail against me
The gates of hell
Shall not prevail
"Peace, my soul," say it again
Deep breath, then try to remember
This isn't a war that I have to fight alone
Fear and disgrace have no place this side of redemption
And none of our falls are unbroken
Don't let me, don't let me down
Revolution is calling, calling
But "feet on the ground," I've found
Is harder than it seems
Let me rejoice in the sounds
Of the barricades falling, falling
Crumbling down, down, down 'til I know
The gates of hell
Shall not prevail against me
The gates of hell
Shall not prevail
So every soul that's seeking shelter
Come alive!
And when they gather for the deathblow
Stand and fight
Don't let me, don't let me down
Revolution is calling, calling
But "feet on the ground," I've found
Is harder than it seems
Let me rejoice in the sounds
Of the barricades falling, falling
Crumbling down, down, down 'til I know
So take your best shot but get one thing straight
If I fall down seven times, I'll stand up eight
All you vultures circling are gonna have to wait
If I fall down seven times, I'll stand up eight
