mistakeOf picking it up and you're gone.A choosing of guns or fighting with swordsThe choice of weapons is done.He'll tear you apart as soon as you startYou know you don't have a chance.Oh Oh Fight for the honourFight for the splendourFight for the pleasure.Oh oh Fight for the honourFight for the splendourFight for your life.Ready to start, the duel beginsThe best man wins in the end.A lunge and a feint, a parry too lateA cut to the chest and you're down.Seeing the stain, feeling the painFeeling the sweat on your brow.Oh oh, Fight for the honourFight for the splendourFight for the pleaure.Oh oh, Fight for the honourFight for the splendourFight for your life.The fighting resumes, a silence loomsThe swordsmen move against each other.A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blowA stab to the heart and you're down.The Angel of Death hears your last breathMeanwhile the Reaper looks on.Oh oh, Fought for the honour.Fought for the splendourFought for the pleasure.Oh oh, Fought for the honour.Fought for the splendourFought to the death.
