Belgrade is the opening track to LA electronic rock band Battle Tapes' first full-length album, and is also the opening theme to Rooster Teeth’s mecha anime Gen:LOCK.
[Verse 1]
I believe, I believe there’s a reason
There’s a breach in the hull
Started going under, loot and plunder
Honey bee, honey bee, don’t you sting me
Don’t you sting me no more
With a heart like yours, search and destroyer
You take what ever you're owed
I can’t let you, I can't let you go
[Chorus]
We pretend in the darkness
We pretend the night won’t steal our youth
Singing me the sweet songs of seduction
Let me be the fool, fool, fool
Who will live and die for you
We pretend in the darkness
We pretend the night won’t steal our youth
Singing me the sweet songs of seduction
Let me be the fool, fool, fool
Who will live and die for you
[Verse 2]
Seventeen wasn’t all the easy
It was all that she wrote
Only nickel plated, edge serrated, oh
Cut em’ down, cut em’ down at the knees, yeah
Cut em’ down to the bone
Just a lesser evil, born unequal
You show them where they belong
Tear right through them
Tear right through them all
[Chorus]
We pretend in the darkness
We pretend the night won’t steal our youth
Singing me the sweet songs of seduction
Let me be the fool, fool, fool
Who will live and die for you
We pretend in the darkness
We pretend the night won’t steal our youth
Singing me the sweet songs of seduction
Let me be the fool, fool, fool
Who will live and die for you
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
We pretend in the darkness
We pretend the night won’t steal our youth
Singing me the sweet songs of seduction
Let me be the fool, fool, fool
Who will live and die for you
We pretend in the darkness
We pretend the night won’t steal our youth
Singing me the sweet songs of seduction
Let me be the fool, fool, fool
Who will live and die for you
Battle Tapes released Belgrade on Fri Nov 20 2015.
