Motorhead - March Or Die lyrics

rate me

The beast behind our eyes is loose,

The day has come, the day has come,

We march to Armageddon, hungry for the war

I see the hated enemy, I see what I was taught to see

And one of us will bend the knee

We understand the law

The blood lust jerks our legs to march,

Fife and drum, fife and drum

Our eyes are fixed and fearless

Searching for the war

Our statesmen deal in blood and lies

100 million stifled cries, 100 million wasted lives

Already gone before

So March or Die, March or Die

The stench of death is in the sky

We never fail to satisfy

We rend with tooth and claw

Sword and shield and jackboot heel

We love to kill, we love to kill

We love to taste our own blood

Squirm in our own gore

Children weep and widows wail,

Our education systems fail,

To hide our guilt we build more jails,

and we shall build still more

Our forests die, the stranglehold

That we put on the earth for gold

Will yet increase ten thousand fold

And no one knows what for

March and die, March and die

Defecate, despoil and lie

Cheat, dissemble, preach & spy

Build your house of straw

Laugh and cry, laugh and cry

Bloody sunset drowns the sky

For earth the heal then we must die

No-one deserves it more

I tell you we are doomed my friends

Our time is come, our time is come

We live within a charnel house

Rotten to the core

We glorify lust, greed & pain

We drown our hope in poison rain

We point the finger, shift the blame

Ambition makes us whores

March or croak, march or croak

All your lives a cosmic joke

Fill your days with piss and smoke

The wolf waits at your door

Burn and dance, burn and dance

Sex, death, torture, false romance

Whoop and howl, you have no chance

Burn and rise no more
