You Shall Die Before I Die
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
You shall die before I die
You shall die before I die
