about

The song that spawned THE NEW GUARD.
Originally released as part of Matt Voodoo's solo-project on the "Diamonds EP", it marks the begining of the change in direction that turned a solo project in the monster that is The New Guard today.

lyrics

We're your worst nightmare, we're your wildest fucking dream,
We'll save you from the horrors that flash across your TV screen,
Some people opt for anarchy, while others opt for tact,
But silence will not save you when they're ready to attack

Waging a war against an apathetic youth,
Sometimes one stops and wonders, "Hey man! What's the use?",
But rage is fast rekindled by the gaulish blessed percent,
We're building up an army our intention is distent

[CHORUS]
Hang Hang Hang 'Em High!
I can hear the people crying, "I don't want to take a stand, but I don't wanna die!"
Hang Hang Hang 'Em High!
We will fight tonight!
We've had enough, their time is up, it's time they answered for their lies!

Patriotic patronistic polyrhythmic blast,
Guided by the ghosts of centuries past,
Catotonic corpses haunt the corporate undertow,
How can they clame to rule what we don't know?

When will it end?
Will it ever end?
It'll never end....
We've gotta MAKE it end!

We'll focus our hostility, find a common enemy,
Forget about our differences and stand for the oppressed,
Set aside our prejudice, use common sense, not politics,
We're all a part of history, but only victors write the text!

[CHORUS]
Hang Hang Hang 'Em High!
I can hear the people crying, "I don't want to take a stand, but I don't wanna die!"
Hang Hang Hang 'Em High!
We will fight tonight!
We've had enough, their time is up, it's time they answered for their lies!

Hang Hang Hang 'Em High!
I can hear the people crying, "I don't want to take a stand, but I don't wanna die!"
Hang Hang Hang 'Em High!
Join our fight tonight!
The gilded gallows stand...

Their monoliths will stand as monuments for their lies!
