Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't tread on me
Said don't tread on me
[Verse 2]
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
[Verse 3]
Never begins it, never, but once engaged
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
[Verse 4]
Don't tread on me
[Verse 5]
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
[Verse 6]
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
[Verse 7]
Don't tread on me
[Verse 8]
Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
Oh, no, no, no
[Verse 9]
So don't tread on me
[Verse 10]
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
[Verse 11]
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
[Verse 12]
Don't tread on me
[Verse 13]
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
[Verse 14]
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
[Verse 15]
Oh-oh-oh, So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
[Verse 16]
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
Written by: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich
