It doesn't matter
if you're wrong or if you're right.
It makes no difference
if you're black or if you're white.
All men are equal till the victory is won.
No color or religion ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.
(Out) in the fields,
the fighting has begun.
(Out) on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
(Out) from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
It doesn't matter
if you're left or to the right.1
Don't try to hide behind
the cause for which you fight.
There'll be no prisoners taken
when the day is done.
No flag or uniform ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.
(Out) in the fields,
the fighting has begun.
(Out) on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
(Out) from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
There's no communication,
no one to take the blame.
The cries of every nation
have fallen on deaf ears again.
(Out) in the fields
(Out) in the fields
(Out) in the fields
(Out) in the fields
(Out) in the fields,
the fighting has begun.
(Out) on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
(Out) from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
(Out) in the fields,
the fighting has begun.
(Out) on the streets,
they're falling one by one.
(Out) from the skies,
a thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
1. "To the right" would refer to a direction, but based on their German translation in their official lyric video, they should have just said "left or right."
