Traitor Lyrics by Motörhead

Rock ‘n’ Roll

1987

You stand accused of treason
You offer no good reason
You are a bloody liar
Yours is the stake of fire

You say you are innocent
But you be caught and spent
And now, you pay the price
For avarice, your vice

Intrigue your sole desire
You sell your wife, your child
You sell your oldest friends
You sell your countrymen
And yet we know your name
Traitor, traitor

And now, your face is shown
And so your fate is know
We have discovered you
We have uncovered you

You say you were led astray
Fall on your knees and pray
Pity is not for you
We'll make things hot for you

Our hearts we make to harden
For you there is no pardon
For you the spike awaits
Upon the traitor's gate
And crows will eat your eyes
Traitor, traitor

Delight we find in you
As we are binding you
You look in vain for friends
You only find revenge

We give you blood and steel
We break you on the wheel
The ones you hope to sell
Will send you straight to Hell

As we dismember you
We shall remember you
You are abomination
You that betray the nation
You shall take long to die
Traitor, traitor
