Die With Your Boots On
(Smith/Dickinson/Harris)
Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions
In the hope that one appears
No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame
'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
In 13 the Beast is Rising
The Frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation,
The Warlord will arise.
Terror, Death, Destruction,
Pour from the Eastern sands,
But the truth of all predictions
Is always in your hands
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
