[Verse 1]
This is not a drill, pass it down the line
Keep your voices still, could happen any time
Word came down last night, our enemies advance
You're itching for a fight, well now you get your chance

[Chorus 1]
This is not a drill, we're takin' live fire
Shit has gotten real, threat level can't be higher
The clank of armor plate, rolling down the hill
The horde is at the gate, coming for the kill
This is not a drill

[Verse 2]
This is the big show
Our destiny fulfilled, that's all you need to know
We're moving out at dawn, so clean your weapon well
The happy days are gone, we're headed into hell

[Chorus 2]
This is not a drill, the blood is not for show
The sound you hear is real, the fire is down below
If anyone is captured, we take the poison pill
And curse the bloody coward who doesn't have the will
This is not a drill
[Guitar solo: Joe Satriani]

[Chorus 1]
This is not a drill, we're takin' live fire
Shit has gotten real, threat level can't be higher
The clank of armor plate, rolling down the hill
The horde is at the gate, coming for the kill
This is not a drill

[Chorus 2]
The blood is not for show
The sound you hear is real, the fire is down below
If anyone is captured, we take the poison pill
And curse the bloody coward who doesn't have the will
This is not a drill
