Tank - The War Drags Ever On

From Honour & Blood (1984)

(Lyrics)
A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whaterever rights had a man

[Pre-chorus]:
We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

[Chorus]:
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
ever on

An arm is severed with a gun still in it's hand
And it's just left to be damned
Their main endeavour has not gone as it was planned
Shoot the boys where they stand
War is forever but as if we had the time
To change their thoughts in their minds
This war will never reflect on all their kind
They should be glad just to die

[Pre-chorus]:
We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

[Chorus]:
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
ever on

[Solo]

A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whaterever rights had a man

[Pre-chorus]:
We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on

[Solo]

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on

Holy shit are you ever on the money there!! This band saw what was coming 30 years ago!! eerie.

[captain0redbeard]

a few of my friends say the same thing. i tell i was born around when Cliff died, and they tell me to "shut the fuck up. i saw him play 3 times!"

i really love the NWOBHM bands from the late 70's, early 80's. wish i was 20 years older :(

@TheMisterPerfecto No biggie, at least you knew a bit of your history and can admit when wrong, its more then most would do nowadays, heck even I have troubles with that!...Just ask my wife, lol!...Anyhoo, enough history class, lets crank the music!

@TheMisterPerfecto

Blood & Honour is a neo-Nazi music promotion network and political group founded in 1987, in 1984 TANK released Honour & Blood, the two are very most likely not related at all. Labels Kamaflage, Music For Nations, Spiritual Beast/Zoom Club....None of those labels are affiliated with the Neo-Nazi party. Please don't jump to conclusions.

@TheMisterPerfecto also: blood and honour was founded 1987, while this song is from 1984

@Deflecto3

Well,thanks for your information,...

[Deflecto3]

@TheMisterPerfecto Yeah but this Album is HONOUR and BLOOD. Not the same. There is an Anti-Nationalist band called Wolfpack from Sweden. Does them being called Wolfpack make them nazis?

[Deflecto3]

@TheIronMotorPriest They've only had 2 singers. Other members are a different story. New Tank is kind of a bummer... Especially when the did new recordings of old songs... It's like Discharge... Shit should have stopped in the 80's. But Algy was Tank. No one else.

[TheIronMotorPriest]

@Deflecto3 'Tank's new singer? LOL there arent any original members atall, ao they should bes called 'rank' ALGY IS TANK!
