Lyrics Battle Cry - Empire Cast, Jussie Smollett

Battle Cry

Ohhhh
I fought this fight before
And lucked up on a win
My bravery done failed
My opposition failed
But now they’re back again
And all of my fears
And all of my doubts
Are lacing their boots
And grabbing their guns
The war is on now
Oooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooo
I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
Woooooah, Ooooh
Fear inside my brain
I’m terrified
And doubt takes over love
I’m paralyzed
Oooh
With darkness drowns the light
But I won’t lose this fight
No giving in, no giving out
No
Even though all of my fears
And all of my doubts
Are outside my door
Ready for war
Right here and now
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooo
I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
I refuse to lose this battle
Let whatever come my way
I am stronger than my rival
No I will not fall today
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
And they’re marching in
Ooooo
I can hear the battle cry
At war with my heart and mind
And they’re marching in
Ooooh
Woooooah, Ooooh
