Motörhead - The Thousand Names of God Lyrics

Walking forever is a long long time
Destiny is just the same old line
The war has come and we have let it come
The war for the blood of the chosen one

All that you see is illusion
And all you feel is mute confusion

The war is never over

No-one ever sees the black machine
You'll never fill my shoes
Out on the killing floor, the eagle screams
Bad man luck and bad man dreams

No, you cannot kill the time
You will not have to choose
And then you'll have to pay your dues
You don't care about the pain
You will survive the day
To speak the thousand names of God

Outside, the world is such a lonely place
Running and hiding, trying to change your fate
The war has come and we don't understand
The war for the world of the future man

All of your days are dying
All of the doomsday birds are flying

The war is never over

Nobody ever wants to hear the truth
Too much like taking blame
The way we are we are the living proof
Bad news boogie and sunk in shame

No, you cannot kill the time
You will not have to choose
And then you'll have to pay your dues
You don't care about the pain
You will survive the day
To speak the thousand names of God

Under the world is only dead and cold
And you still think that you can save your soul
The war is come and we have washed our hands
Bathed in the blood of the fighting man

All of your hearts are broken
And every magic word is spoken

The war is never over

You'll never walk out of this poison ground
You'll never be the one
Your head will never get to wear the crown
No luck left when hope is gone

No, you cannot kill the time
You will not have to choose
And then you'll have to pay your dues
You don't care about the pain
You will survive the day
And speak the thousand names of God
