I have lived before
One thousand lives or more
Crossed the Earth shore to shore
Waiting for this night

Here to kill not fight
One of us will die tonight
Here I am and here I'll stay
I will not run away

One of us will die today
The last words you shall hear
I will say

You shall die before I die
You shall die before I die

Blood, blood, blood and pain
That's my way
To send your soul to hell
A life of lies
Now you'll die
I will live to tell
One of us will die today
I'll be the one to live to say
