Battleground Lyrics

All my life I've been fightin' fear
Been dragged down buried in this world alone
The sound of thunder I could always hear
Had me feelin' so sick called this hell my home

I left my lovin' and everything behind
I know where I'm going' won't be turned around
Until it breaks it holdin' down the line
'Til We are free from the marching sound

I know what is true
I know what to do with it
I'll see it 'til it's through
Hold your battleground
Whilst the cameras sound
Hold your battleground
'Til the final round

I'm young and pissed with a fist of stone
Learnt to stand on my feet but this is not my land
I see my reflection and I'm not alone
We'll take it all instead of what we can
We know what is true we know what to do
and we'd defend it until it's blue
Hold your battleground
Whilst the cameras sound
Hold your battleground
'Til the final round

Tell me I feel
We'll be moved or be turned around
Tell me I'm free
We'll keep on rising to the marching sound
The marching sound

Hold your battleground
Where the cameras sound
Hold your battleground
'Til the final round

The sound of thunder I could always hear
Had me feelin' so sick called this hell my home

I left my lovin' and everything behind
I know where I'm going' won't be turned around
Until it breaks it holdin' down the line
'Til We are free from the marching sound

I know what is true
I know what to do with it 
I'll see it 'til it's through
Hold your battleground
Whilst the cameras sound
Hold your battleground

I'm young and pissed with a fist of stone
Learnt to stand on my feet but this is not my land

We'll take it all instead of what we can
We know what is true we know what to do

Tell me I feel
We'll be moved or be turned around
Tell me I'm free
We'll keep on rising to the marching sound
The marching sound

Hold your battleground
Where the cameras sound
Hold your battleground
'Til the final round

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
