Hang 'Em High
Retribution's Symphony: Dropkick Murphys' Battle Cry Unveiled
Lyrics
We waited together for the cowards to come
We patiently anticipated the arrival of the cowardly enemies.
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
Despite being in a disadvantaged position, we stood our ground.
No mercy, no quarter
No compassion or mercy will be shown.
They'll pay for their sins
The enemies will face consequences for their wrongdoing.
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
The signal to commence battle is given as cannons are lowered.
We waited together for the cowards to come
Reiteration of the anticipation for the arrival of cowards.
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
Despite being in a disadvantaged position, we stood our ground.
No mercy, no quarter
No compassion or mercy will be shown.
They'll pay for their sins
The enemies will face consequences for their wrongdoing.
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
The signal to commence battle is given as cannons are lowered.
We weighed anchor in anger, set sail for revenge
We set sail with anger seeking revenge.
Hoisted the canvas turned her into the wind
Raised the sails, aligning with the wind for the pursuit of justice.
We'll hang 'em high for justice and the whole world will see
We will execute justice by hanging wrongdoers, making it known to the world.
Now off with their heads boys and bring 'em to me
A call to action to execute the punishment and bring the heads.
We waited together for the cowards to come
Reiteration of the anticipation for the arrival of cowards.
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
Despite being in a disadvantaged position, we stood our ground.
No mercy, no quarter
No compassion or mercy will be shown.
They'll pay for their sins
The enemies will face consequences for their wrongdoing.
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
The signal to commence battle is given as cannons are lowered.
We'll rattle the sabers for the tyrants' demise
We will make loud threats for the downfall of tyrants.
Feed half to sharks and the rest to the flies
The enemies will be divided, with a part going to sharks and the rest to flies.
An honorable death for you would be too nice
An honorable death is deemed too kind; a desire to prolong suffering.
I'd like to savor the moment and kill you twice
Expressing a wish to relish the moment and inflict double harm.
We waited together for the cowards to come
Reiteration of the anticipation for the arrival of cowards.
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
Despite being in a disadvantaged position, we stood our ground.
No mercy, no quarter
No compassion or mercy will be shown.
They'll pay for their sins
The enemies will face consequences for their wrongdoing.
Now lower the cannons the battle begins
The signal to commence battle is given as cannons are lowered.
The battle begins
The commencement of the battle.
