Lyric discussion by JayCeezy 

Cover art for Iron Horse/Born to Lose lyrics by Motörhead

small correction, the song is "die has been cast" (not dice), a metalworking term.

Have enjoyed Motörhead since the '80s, but only recently been listening to the lyrics. Hard to understand through Lemmy's rasp (and my sketchy sound system), but the loneliness and desperation and defiance all come through. Sometimes the only salvation is to rock hard, and ride free.
