Line In The Sand

Evolution is a mystery
Full of change that no one sees
Clock makes a fool of history
Yesterday's too long ago
Don't agree with what I know
Tomorrow comes, no place to be
I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Lookin' back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution
See my reflection change
Nothin' ever stays the same
But you know the name's the game
We all know what it means
Nothin's ever what it seems
Unforgiven, unforseen
I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Lookin back to see where I stand

Lookin' back to see where I stand

Line In The Sand
Motorhead's 'Line In The Sand' stands as a defining track of the late 1970s British punk movement, characterized by its driving, distorted rhythm and raw vocal delivery. Released during the band's formative years, the song exemplifies the genre's signature blend of aggression and anthemic energy that would later define heavy metal. As a staple of Motorhead's early catalogue, it captures the rebellious spirit of the era, serving as a foundational piece in the band's evolution toward the heavier sound heard on albums like 'Overkill'. The recording reflects the DIY ethos of the time, prioritizing visceral impact over production polish, and remains a critical reference point for fans of the genre's origins.
