When the Eagle Screams Motörhead

In the heart of battle we were tested
All of us were in the frontline too
We were in the thick of it
Soon we were so sick of it
But we had much more soldiering to do

I'll tell you what it was that drove us on
The certainty that we were right
And the enemy was wrong

Go up on the mountain
Speak to Gods and men
See if they can tell you why they died
Ask them when we stop the greed
Ask them why we have to bleed
They will tell you, brother
When the eagles screams, we die

In the heat of battle we were brave
Mentioned in dispatches, that is true
We were given medals
But now they call us Devils
And now we can't decide
Between the two

I'll tell you what it was
That changed the rules
When the high command was given up
To businessmen and fools
