Living hard and dying fast
Its the only life I know .
I want a joyful welcoming
When to the elgion fields I go
live by the sword and die by the sword
It's the life that I must live
Ares please don't make me wait
When I've no more left to give
Don't let me fade away and rust
I need to live my life with lust
Don't make me crumble into dust
Don't let me fade away and rust
Sometimes I give
Sometimes I take
It’s the nature of the steel
Someday I'll lose it's been decreed
by the power that fate wields.
She'll cut my thread and I will die
That's the ending of the game
But please don't let it come after years
of my body sick and lame.
Don't let me fade away and rust
I need to live my life with lust
Don't make me crumble into dust
Don't let me fade away and rust
When Hades walks the underworld
Inspecting his domain,
I want him to welcome me
and to call me by my name
I want to have a special place
in the fields that is all my own
One that will be mine forever
When my bodys' spirits' flown
Don't let me fade away and rust
I need to live my life with lust
Don't make me crumble into dust
Don't let me fade away and rust
