Em
We're scanning the scene in the city tonight
We're looking for you, to start up a fight
There's an evil feeling in our brains
But it's nothing new, you know it drives us insane

Am
Running, on our way, hiding, you will pay
Dying, one thousand deaths
Running, on our way, hiding, you will pay
Dying, one thousand deaths

Chorus:
G       F#  F            Em
Searching, seek and destroy
Searching, seek and destroy!
Searching, seek and destroy
Searching, seek and destroy

There is no escape and that's for sure
This is the end, we won't take any more
Say goodbye to the world you live in
You've always been taking and 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

Chorus:
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 won't 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

Chorus:
Searching, seek and destroy
Searching, seek and destroy!
Searching, seek and destroy
Searching, seek and destroy, a-ha ha ha ha
