not one day dead but one day mad

Tankard

Back in the days of early metal
In 82 we formed to stay
First under Vortex and Avenger
In Tankard then we found our way

We found our way
And still we play
From the first day
We re on our way

Even in times
When Thrash exhausted
When fame was gone
We held the flag up high

We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Until we go mad

We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead

After the 90 s great depression
When Metal limped and Grunge did play
Then there was the big revival
We have never lost our way

We found our way
And still we play
From the first day
We re on our way

Never broke up
When we faced trouble
Second-rate beer
Cheap hotels, lousy gigs

We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Until we go mad

We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead

(Solo)

We re limelight hogs
Nothing can part us
No reasons for a fucking reunion

We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Until we go mad

We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead

But one day really fucking mad!!!

We burn!, burn like fire!
Until we go mad

We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead
