You wanna understand this,
But you don't know me except for what I told ya,
Except for what I've shown ya,
I'll crush all crisis in my life, and live it my own way,
I've left t he weakness built by fools and brought the rage
Fracture, rupture, shatter your world
Hammer, butcher, slaughter your world
I am the debt that all men pay,
To die with honor, to die with strength
I am the debt that all men pay,
Won't die a coward,
Won't die in vain, no
You think you own me?
Well you can't own this!
I'm a fucking soldier,
A goddamn warrior,
I made a prom- ise to myself to rid my life of pain,
I'll tow the line of pride in mind and leave behind disgrace
My wish, my choice, my rule, my world
My voice, my right, my cause, my world
I am the debt that all men pay,
To die with honor,
To die with strength
I am the debt that all men pay,
Won't die a coward,
Won't die in vain, no
I fought this war and won,
My one salvation has forsaken me,
My hero's long since gone away
They told me long ago to choose my battles one by one and fight to death until the bitter end
I am the debt that all men pay,
To die with honor, to die with strength
I am the debt that all men pay
I am the debt that all men pay
