Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Striking down the enemy fighting hand to hand
Troops are thrusting onwards, time to take command
Ready to devour, on the attack
Bodies lie dismembered maimed, killed and hacked
[Bridge]
Draw fast, cut first
Live hard, die hard
Feel the point of the blade
[Verse 2]
Lunging like an animal, killing all in sight
Going for the throat, living for the fight
In a bath of bloodshed mixing with the sweat
Crawling through the barbwire, put it to the test
[PreChorus]
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fighting the war
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
[Chorus]
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
[Verse 3]
Raging on the warpath storming through the town
Blowing it to pieces, killing all around
Stand in our way if you've got the balls
In a hail of bullets, you're nailed to the wall
[PreChorus]
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fighting the war
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
[Chorus]
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
[Instrumental]
Lead: Dan
[Verse 4]
We wait out the day, we burn in the sun
We move out by night and kill everyone
Show no emotions, have no regrets
Made to take pain, no fear of death
[PreChorus]
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fighting the war
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
[Chorus]
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho
[Instrumental]
Lead: Scott
[Bridge]
Draw fast, cut first
Live hard, die hard
Feel the point of the blade
