In Union We Stand
Overkill · Other Songs - Overkill
From the islands to the cities, from the ports into the sea.
We are strong, we will always be...
Blazing through the wreckage, burning all we see..
The life we lead, committed to be free..
Our union is a fortress!
Together we are bound.
A common bound in freedom, and in sound!!
So raise your voices high!
For miles around to hear.
Let them know, we are drawing near...
In union we stand,
As they blaze across the land!!
In union, we make a final stand....
(again)
A peaceful co-existance, is droping out of sight.
So band together, together we will fight.
Blasting the resistance, marching to the top.
They started this, we say when it stops.
Strike fear within their hearts!
Strike down those in your way.
Let them know, that we live, today!!
They throw us into flames,
Did not hear our cries.
But now, from the ashes we arise...

We are strong, we will always be...
Blazing through the wreckage, burning all we see..
The life we lead, committed to be free..
Our union is a fortress!
Together we are bound.
A common bound in freedom, and in sound!!
So raise your voices high!
For miles around to hear.
Let them know, we are drawing near...
In union we stand,
As they blaze across the land!!
In union, we make a final stand....
(again)
A peaceful co-existance, is droping out of sight.
So band together, together we will fight.
Blasting the resistance, marching to the top.
They started this, we say when it stops.
Strike fear within their hearts!
Strike down those in your way.
Let them know, that we live, today!!
They throw us into flames,
Did not hear our cries.

In Union We Stand
Overkill's "In Union We Stand" stands as a defining track within the band's evolution toward technical thrash and power metal. Released during a period where the group integrated complex riffing structures with soaring melodic vocals, the song exemplifies the genre's shift in the late 2000s. The recording features the band's signature blend of aggressive distortion and precise drumming, characteristic of their work on albums like *Immortalis*. As a staple of their discography, the track highlights their ability to balance heavy, chugging riffs with anthemic choruses, cementing their reputation as a leading force in the modern extreme metal scene.
