March Or Die
Motörhead Lyrics

The beast behind our eyes is loose,
The violent and savage side of humanity has been unleashed, and it now controls us.

The day has come, the day has come,
The day of reckoning has arrived, and we must face the consequences of our actions.

We march to Armageddon, hungry for the war
We move towards a catastrophic end, fueled by our desire for conflict.

I see the hated enemy, I see what I was taught to see
We are taught to hate our opponents, and we see only what we have been trained to perceive.

And one of us will bend the knee
Eventually, one side will surrender and admit defeat.

We understand the law
We know the rules of engagement, and we understand the consequences of breaking them.

The blood lust jerks our legs to march,
Our craving for violence and aggression compels us to move forward.

Fife and drum, fife and drum
The sounds of war drive us forward and fuel our enthusiasm.

Our eyes are fixed and fearless
We are confident in our ability to win, and we are not afraid of the consequences.

Searching for the war
We are constantly looking for a fight, and we will not back down from a challenge.

Our statesmen deal in blood and lies
Our leaders are corrupt and devious, and they will do anything to achieve their goals.

A hundred million stifled cries, a hundred million wasted lives
The cost of our wars is immeasurable, and countless innocent lives have been lost as a result.

Already gone before
It is too late to change the past, and the damage has already been done.

So march or die, march or die
We must choose between risking death on the battlefield or surrendering and facing the consequences.

The stench of death is in the sky
The smell of death and destruction is everywhere, and it pervades our very existence.

We never fail to satisfy
We always achieve our goals, no matter how brutal or violent they may be.

We rend with tooth and claw
We are ruthless and savage, and we will stop at nothing to achieve our objectives.

Sword and shield and jackboot heel
We are armed and ready for battle, and we will use any means necessary to win.

We love to kill, we love to kill
Our desire for violence and aggression is insatiable, and we revel in destroying our enemies.

We love to taste our own blood
We derive pleasure from the act of violence itself, even if it means we are also hurt in the process.

Squirm in our own gore
We are fascinated by the sight of blood and death, and we find pleasure in the gruesome aftermath of battle.

Children weep and widows wail,
Our destructive ways cause immense suffering and grief, especially for those who are innocent.

Our education systems fail,
We do not teach our children the right values and morals, perpetuating the cycle of violence and aggression.

To hide our guilt we build more jails,
We try to absolve ourselves of responsibility by punishing others, instead of addressing the root causes of our problems.

And we shall build still more
We will continue down this destructive path, even though it will only lead to more pain and suffering.

Our forests die, the stranglehold
We are destroying the natural world, suffocating it with our greed and disregard for its value.

That we put on the earth for gold
We are willing to sacrifice the environment for the sake of profit and financial gain.

Will yet increase ten thousand fold
Our destructive tendencies will only get worse and become even more pronounced in the future.

And no one knows what for
We are blindly marching towards doom without truly understanding the reasons why.

March and die, march and die
We are headed towards inevitable destruction, and we will either give our lives or be forced to face the consequences.

Defecate, despoil and lie
We are capable of great acts of depravity and evil, and we will do whatever it takes to achieve our goals.

Cheat, dissemble, preach & spy
We are dishonest and deceitful, and we will go to great lengths to deceive others if it means achieving our objectives.

Build your house of straw
We are building our society on a foundation of weakness and deceit, which will inevitably crumble under the weight of our sins.

Laugh and cry, laugh and cry
We are capable of experiencing both joy and sorrow, but our destructive tendencies will ultimately lead to nothing but misery and suffering.

Bloody sunset drowns the sky
The world is awash in bloodshed and violence, and there seems to be no end in sight.

For earth the heal then we must die
The earth will only heal itself once we are gone, as we are the ones causing the majority of its problems.

No-one deserves it more
We are responsible for our own demise, and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

I tell you we are doomed my friends
The situation is dire, and there seems to be no way out of the cycle of violence and aggression that we have created.

Our time is come, our time is come
We have reached a point of no return, and it is time for us to face the consequences of our actions.

We live within a charnel house
We are surrounded by death and decay, and our lives are characterized by destruction and violence.

Rotten to the core
Our society is corrupt and decayed, and our values and morals are flawed at the most fundamental level.

We glorify lust, greed & pain
Our society values the wrong things, including sex, money, and inflicting harm on others.

We drown our hope in poison rain
We have lost all sense of optimism and possibility, and our spirits have been crushed by the realities of our world.

We point the finger, shift the blame
We are quick to blame others for our problems, instead of taking responsibility for our actions.

Ambition makes us whores
Our desire for wealth, power, and success has turned us into slaves to our own desires, at the expense of our morals and values.

March or croak, march or croak
We must face our destiny, even if it means dying in the process.

All your lives a cosmic joke
Our lives are ultimately meaningless, and our struggles and ambitions are insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe.

Fill your days with piss and smoke
We waste our lives on trivial pursuits, such as drinking and smoking, and fail to find any true purpose or meaning.

The wolf waits at your door
Death, destruction, and the consequences of our own actions are always lurking just around the corner.

Burn and dance, burn and dance
We are consumed by our own violence and aggression, and we cannot help but revel in the destruction we have wrought.

Sex, death, torture, false romance
Our society is obsessed with violence, sex, and death, and we confuse these things with love and intimacy.

Whoop and howl, you have no chance
We are doomed to failure, and there is nothing we can do to stop the inevitable destruction we have unleashed.

Burn and rise no more
Our fate is sealed, and once we have burned ourselves out, there will be nothing left to resurrect or salvage.
