Metal Church - Battalions lyrics

[K. Vanderhoof / C. Wells]

Deep slumber awakened by sirens

I realize life's been thrown to the lions

What I saw last night, our city's gone mad

And to my horror, the bloody town square

The time is now, we must avenge

We form tonight, we kill tonight

We must rest to regain our strength

We form tonight, we kill tonight

Tell all your <i>[something]</i> surrounding the back

In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy

We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us

Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to (oblivion??)

Gather all survivors, the forces retreat

They never see the troopers in the streets

Surprise attack with no destination

What will we do with a steam-<i>[something]</i> nation

Death to come for what they've done

Snap their backs, their necks will crack

Stronger than ever, our guns held high

Snap their backs, their necks will crack

Tell all your <i>[something]</i> surrounding the back

In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy

We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us

Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to (oblivion??)

The people have organized an army of vengeance

Struck out now, the bodies just like remnants

Don't you love living like a shark (??)

We each have power, the battle has been won

The time is now, we must avenge

We form tonight, We kill tonight

We must rest to regain our strength

We form tonight, we kill tonight

Tell all your ... surrounding the back

In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy

We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us

Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to (oblivion?)
