THE BATTLE RAGES ON (Blackmore/Gillan/Lord/Paice)

Been so many words so much to say,
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay.
Some live in fear some do not,
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot.

Ooh... Don't talk to me of love,
Ooh... It's obvious it's not enough.

Annihilation kill them all,
Capitulation watch the mighty fall.
The road to glory is lined in red,
And trough the reason now is gone
The battle rages on...

Was it love or hate that got here first,
Hate's a habit it's hard to shake the curse.
Kill to live and live to die,
Human nature you let the strong survive.

Ooh, Don't talk to me of love,
Ooh, Be serious - it's not enough.

Annihilation kill them all,
Capitulation watch the mighty fall.
The road to glory is lined in red,
And trough the reason now is gone
The battle rages on...
