The Thousand Names Of God

Motorhead · Other Songs - Motorhead

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 law is such a lonely place



Learning and hiding, trying to change your face



The war is coming, we don't understand



The role for the world and the future land



All of your days are dying



All of the doomsday birds are flying



The war is never over



Nobody ever likes 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 has 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
