Motrheads 'Born To Raise Hell' is a high-octane anthem that encapsulates the band's hard-living, rock and roll lifestyle. The lyrics, delivered with Lemmy Kilmister's signature gravelly voice, are a call to action, urging listeners to let loose and embrace the wild side of life. The song's message is clear: life is meant to be lived with intensity and abandon, and Motrhead is the soundtrack to that philosophy.
The repeated chorus 'Born to raise hell' serves as a rallying cry, suggesting that some people are simply destined to shake things up and live life on their own terms. The references to 'voodoo medicine' and 'casting spells' add a touch of the mystical to the song, implying that there's a certain magic in living life to the fullest. The song's energetic beat and driving guitars are designed to get listeners on their feet, moving to the rhythm and losing themselves in the music.
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go back to zero take a pill and get well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Be a good soldier and die where you fell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go on out and boogie 'cos you never can tell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Be a good soldier and die where you fell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know how to do it and we do it real well
