[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, driving drum beat] [Verse 1] [aggressive male vocals] Blinded by smoke surrounded by flames I can't remember all of their names Life on the edge in a dangerous game I was a member of the first gang Know that I'll never be the same [Chorus] It was a world at war To live at all meant fighting more To mark the turf, to settle the score [Instrumental Break] [wah-wah guitar solo, double-kick drumming] [Faster tempo] [Hook] The war cry Sparked by the anger burning inside No one can ever really describe The war cry [Bridge] I can hear the sounds of a battle in the distance It leads me to enlist in the forces of resistance Armed with a license to kill I was looking for a thrill I was hungry for the taste of all the blood that I could spill I was driven by the war cry It was telling me someone had to die I never even thought to wonder why [Chorus] [full band intensity] It was a world at war To live at all meant fighting more To mark the turf, to settle the score [Verse 3] Life on the edge in a dangerous game I'm still a member of the worst gang I know that I'll never be the same [Chorus] The War Cry Sparked by the anger burning inside No words can ever really describe The War Cry The War Cry [Outro] [sustained guitar feedback, final drum fill]
