Hail the Marines

lyrics

I dodged the law with nowhere to go.
Clan was in shambles, empire at our door.
Nowhere to turn, took the military contract.
Now I'm here on another continent.
Stay out of trouble, and keep my head low.
March with the column, and wait for the time to bolt.
Day after day, it's "hurry up and wait".
The enemy's approaching, I don't even know his face.

Hood's balls, they're closing in.
Make our stand, and spit in their grin.
We don't play fair, we just play to win.
We are the Malazan Marines!
Burn them bridges, hunt for bones.
Make them bleed, let them know.
First in last out, as it's always been.
We are the Malazan Marines!

The men and women in my squad are completely insane.
I don't understand why I haven't deserted.
Our idiot lieutenant is from noble blood.
A knife in his back would do him good.
That particular promotion will have to wait.
The enemy is back, and this time they brought a mage.
An even trade, we have a spook of our own.
He knows some tricks that will chill you to the bone.

Hood's balls, they're closing in.
Make our stand, and spit in their grin.
We don't play fair, we just play to win.
We are the Malazan Marines!
Burn them bridges, hunt for bones.
Make them bleed, let them know.
First in last out, as it's always been.
We are the Malazan Marines!

Charge!

Here we go on the march again.
Don't know where we go, don't know where we've been.
All we know there's people t'need killin'.
We will deliver with the help of the doctrin.
Step by step, onwards we march
to our glorious purpose, unwitnessed by all.
Final justice, delivered by the rejects.
United in will, a force to be reckoned with!

Hood's balls, they're closing in.
Make our stand, and spit in their grin.
We don't play fair, we just play to win.
We are the Malazan Marines!
Burn them bridges, hunt for bones.
Make them bleed, let them know.
First in last out, as it's always been.
We are the Malazan Marines!
