War Boys
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're the lords of the jungle
We're the war boys,
We're the ones who make all the noise.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Up with the dawn,
It's just another day;
On with the warpaint,
It's just another day.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
We're the lords of the dawn
I'm a child of the birth sublime,
Nubile warriors drifting with time.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
We live every day
As though it's our last,
One step wrong
We're a thing of the past.
Obscure objects
With strange desires
Step in our way,
We'll burn you with fire!
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
The sun goes down,
It's been another day
The lights go out
And we fade away.
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
We run from the dawn
Into the night;
All you can see
Is the whites of our eyes.
See me
And you can come too
And you can come too
And you can come too
And you can come too
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
Lay-oh Lay-oh Lay-oh
Layay man tey sa-ra-rai
