Not One Day Dead (but One Day Mad) Lyrics


Tankard Not One Day Dead (but One Day Mad)


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 grunde 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

We're limelight hogs
Nothing can part us
No reasons for a f..cking
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 f..cking mad

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
