Viking Death March Lyrics

Down, let's take it down
Raise up their heads on a stake
We will show no mercy on evolutions mistake

Change, will have to wait
If we can't decide on a fate
Self-appointed prophets and their doomsday charade

You preach about love, teach about faith
But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate!

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
And down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
And down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Stop, punch in the clock
Punch it with all of your rage
Put the men in office for a minimum wage

Rats, fighting for scraps
Siphoned the gas from your tank
Left your pockets empty, as they laugh to the bank

They speak about trust, but make no mistake
They're shaking your hand while they spit in your face!

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Now! the time is now
We can still turn it around
Raise your voice like a weapon, 'til they fall to the ground

Light! let there be light
Without a shadow of doubt
We will fight tooth and nail until salvation is found!

So how can you look, the world in the eyes?
When all we can see is corruption and lies!

Down on your knees, you don't look so tall
Down on your knees, you don't look so tall

Cracking the whip on the backs of the poor
We asked you to stop but you still wanted more
The blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall!

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall!

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall!

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall!

Crosses still burn, axes still fall
Down on your knees, you don't look so tall
Open your eyes and the empire falls!

Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.

The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

To date, the band have released five studio albums, the first under the name Pezz named "Watoosh!", the second under the Billy Talent name is called "Billy Talent" with the third called "Billy Talent II". The fourth album,"Billy Talent III", released in 2009, was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who previously worked with AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and The Offspring, among others.
The fifth album called "Dead Silence" was released in september 2012.

Billy Talent have also released a live DVD/CD, "666" featuring live performances from London, Dusseldorf, and the Rock Am Ring festival, held at the Nürburgring in Germany. They have also released two live albums from London and Manchester in September of 2006, of which only 500 of each exist.

Drummer Aaron Solowoniuk revealed that the song "This Is How It Goes" was written for him by Ben with the subject being Aaron's struggle with multiple sclerosis, in an open letter to fans posted on the official website in March 2006. As a sign of the dedication to finding a cure for MS, the band hold an annual show in Canada named "F.U.MS" in which all funds go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. In it's first year, F.U.MS raised $19,000, and in it's second raised $50,000.
