Don't Tread On Me

(from the album Metallica [Black Album])

Back to Metallica Albums

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail

once you provoke her, rattling of her tail

never begins it, never, but once engaged...

never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

*

don't tread on me

*

so be it

threaten no more

to secure peace is to prepare for war

so be it

settle the score

touch me again for the words that you'll hear

evermore...

*

don't tread on me

*

love it or live it, she with the deadly bite

quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike

shining with brightness, always on surveillance

the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

*

don't tread on me

*

so be it

threaten no more

to secure peace is to prepare for war

so be it

settle the score

touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

*

don't tread on me

*

so be it

threaten no more

to secure peace is to prepare for war

*

liberty or death, what we so proudly hail

once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

*

so be it

threaten no more

to secure peace is to prepare for war

so be it

settle the score

touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

*

don't tread on me
