Day to Die
Written by Pebyr ap Cucorin about Sir M'Deth of the Burning Lands
The smell of leather on a sun drenched day,
As Deth takes the battlefield to make somebody pay,
How dare they laugh,
At his Kingly wrath,
Were they afraid that they were born to be the last,
But there`s a gleam of steel in his blood shot eyes,
From drinking with the corsairs till the dawn's early light,
And now his head is swimming as he staggers on the field,
Are there any here among us that knows just how he feels,
Chorus: But give me a cause that`s worth fighting for,
And I'll pound a challenge on hell's front door,
I don't want to listen as the women cry,
For today is always a good day to die
I said it's always a good day to die,
I said it's always a good day to die
Now his armour's tarnished and his swords seen better days,
He's risked his life so often,
Not always for the pay,
So now he's battle weary,
And his dreams are pretty worn,
He's dreaming of his youth,
When he thought of taking on the world,
So when he talks with young men,
So confident in life,
They all think he's crazy,
When he chooses not to fight,
But he tells them I'll live longer,
Than any of you will,
For sometimes it's the wise man,
Who chooses not to kill,
Chorus: But give me a cause that`s worth fighting for,
And I'll pound a challenge on hell's front door,
I don't want to listen as the women cry,
For today is always a good day to die
I said it's always a good day to die,
I said it's always a good day to die
He's always full of wisdom,
At least I think that's what it's called,
I know he's full of something,
I saw it written on the wall,
And he's always got advice,
As you lie there bleeding in the sun,
For old age and treachery,
Will always overcome,
Now he staggers on the field,
A champion of men,
Fighting with a hangover,
He wishes he were dead,
But still this battered knight,
Is worthy of respect,
And if you don't believe me,
Well he'll liberate your head,
Chorus: But give me a cause that`s worth fighting for,
And I'll pound a challenge on hell's front door,
I don't want to listen as the women cry,
For today is always a good day to die
I said it's always a good day to die,
I said it's always a good day to die
