This Day We Fight!

[Verse 1]

For this I was chosen, because I fear nothing

With confidence I tread through the dead of the night

Off to another war-torn, faraway battlefield

Wherein lies a daemonic enemy horde

On this day, I decide to anoint my fists

Engaging them in the mode of power and war

Stopping at nothing, that's short of fulfilling my destiny

Willing to die and I will after you for what I believe

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Verse 2]

A desperate avenger striking fear in their hearts

Invading their dreams before the day even starts

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Chorus]

Whet with your blood, I sharpen my sword

No turning the other cheek like a coward

Come tomorrow, I may lay down and die

But not this day

[Verse 3]

Sent on an unholy quest

To reduce all those who resist

To the size of their shriveled up souls

And scatter them like grist

I vanquished the strangleholds that the netherworld sets for me

The last request of my life is to die killing my enemies

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Verse 4]

Bathed in blood up to the horse's bridle

It's death to retreat, there's no chance of survival

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Chorus]

Whet with your blood, I sharpen my sword

No turning the other cheek like a coward

Come tomorrow, I may lay down and die

But not this day

[Post-Chorus]

This day we fight!

This day we fight!

This day we fight!

[Bridge]

Strip the fallen heroes

Finish off the wounded

Collect the spoils of war and send them back dead

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Outro]

This day we fight

This day we fight

Fight, fight

This day we fight

Fight, fight, fight

This day, I fight!
