The enemy isn’t here, it isn’t there, you can’t see this fight
Strength is not your friend, struggle to find your might
Secluded like the forgotten, inside your chest is tight
The enemy isn’t here, it isn’t there, you can’t stop this fight

The enemy is here, it’s in front of you, you can’t hide
There are no corners, no walls, anywhere to confide
If there is a way out, there is no one to lead outside
The enemy is here, it’s above you, you shouldn’t hide

The enemy is you, the mirror ahead, you can change
Only you and it, accept the truth, straight down the range
Everyone can see you, think yourself weird, alone, strange
The enemy is you, look no further, you will change

There is no enemy now, face the truth, you’ve already won
The battle ended, you saw the reality, the enemy is gone
You have the power, you have the strength, the ability you don
Beneath you a world, above you nothing, the world you have won

Don’t be afraid of what isn’t there, discover what is there
You are stronger than your own demons, they obey you
Stand tall & talk loudly, let your voice be heard by everyone
The reality is your own strength, use it to forge your own happiness
