I'm fighting a battle

I'm fighting my shadow

Herd fears like they're cattle

I'm fighting a battle, yeah

I'm fighting my ego

Lost youth where did we go wrong

I'm fighting for me though

I'm lighting the long way home

[Chorus]

Oh the past it haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past tormented me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past it haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past tormented me

But the battle was lost

'cos I'm still here

I'm winning the war now

I'm winning it all now

Watch tears while they fall down

I'm winning the war now

I win against ego

Cast light on the shadow's long

I'm winning from ego

I'm lighting the long way home

[Chorus]

Oh the past it haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past tormented me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past it haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past tormented me

But the battle was lost

'Cos I'm still here

It's haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past it's haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past it's haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past tormented me

But the battle was lost

'Cos we're still here
