Intro

Interlude

Verse 1:

This is your time to pay,

This is your judgement day,

We made a sacrifice,

And now we get to take your life.

We shoot without a gun,

We'll take on anyone,

It's really nothing new,

It's just a thing we like to do.

Chorus:

You better get ready to die,

You better get ready to kill,

You better get ready to run,

Cause here we come,

You better get ready to die!

Interlude

Verse 2:

Your life is over now,

Your life is running out,

When your time is at an end,

Then it's time to kill again,

We cut without a knife,

We live in black and white,

Your just a parasite,

Now close your eyes and say good-night.

Chorus:

You better get ready to die,

You better get ready to kill,

You better get ready to run,

Cause here we come,

You better get ready to die!

Get ready to die!

Get ready to die!
