It was the first song the band recorded in a studio.

Alright

We are scanning the scene 
In the city tonight 
We are looking for you 
To start up a fight 
There is an evil feeling 
In our brains 
But it is nothing new 
You know it drives us insane 

Running, 
On our way 
Hiding, 
You will pay 
Dying, 
One thousand deaths 
Running, 
On our way 
Hiding, 
You will pay 
Dying, 
One thousand deaths 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 

There is no escape 
And that is for sure 
This is the end we won't take any more 
Say goodbye 
To the world you live in 
You have always been taking 
But now you're giving 

Running, 
On our way 
Hiding, 
You will pay 
Dying, 
One thousand deaths 
Running, 
On our way 
Hiding, 
You will pay 
Dying, 
One thousand deaths 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 

Our brains are on fire 
With the feeling to kill 
And it will not go away 
Until our dreams are fulfilled 
There is only one thing 
On our minds 
Don't try running away 
'cause you're the one we will find 

Running, 
On our way 
Hiding, 
You will pay 
Dying, 
One thousand deaths 
Running, 
On our way 
Hiding, 
You will pay 
Dying, 
One thousand deaths 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy 
Searching, 
Seek and Destroy
