Battle Lust Lyrics

by Gwar

I gaze through the mist at the approaching host

 My hand finds the hilt of my sword

 Soon they are sundered, their bodies we roast

 Their leader is hacked, mauled and gored



Battle lust takes me

 Demon be damned

No way to slake me

 Die by my hand

 DIE



Sternum’s are cloven and skulls they are split

 They then are heaped up in piles

 Monarch of murder, the crown seems to fit

 Suffering brings only smiles…



Battle lust takes me

 Demon be damned

 No way to slake me

 Die by my hand

 DIE



Whirling and hacking I’m bathing my blade

 Mutated myrmidon of rage

 The howling vortex of the hatred I’ve made

 The enemy is still miles away

 Addicted to war lust I can’t be controlled

 The burning blood soon chokes the pyre

 Slaughter with frenzy – must eat their souls

 Don’t even pause to perspire (well, maybe just a little bit)



Let slip the dogs of war!



The foe was fanatic, the battle well fought

 I split another rib cage, the blood is black and hot

 Volleys rain, bodies drop

 Lungs collapse, sinews pop



Is good ya!



Battle lust takes me

 Thrive on your pain

 Abattoirs churning

 Die in my name

 DIE



My friend the buzzard he follows my toils

 My friend the rat grows fat from my spoils

 My friend the maggot he spawns in your brain

 My friend or enemy, all shall die in pain

LUST!
