The hour's getting late and we've drunk every bottle dry

Just one more march from dusk 'till dawn 'till we finally arrive

 Dm                                 A#              A
Marching for the gates we pray the lord my soul to keep
    Dm                             A#             A
For if we ever get ourselves out from this mess alive
         Dm                                     A#    A     Dm
