Full Lyrics :

You doubt your strength or courage

Don't come to join with me

For deth surely wants you

With sharp and pointy teeth

An animal so vicious

No others fought and won

So on the fields of battle

We are the chosen ones

Human bones blank the dirt

OF the heathens lair

That we must pass this den of deth

The only path from here

But I walk in the light

The time to die has come

No-one shall take my life

I'm of the chosen ones

Black shadows fill the sky

As the creatures eyes grow near

Raise the shield of the holy pilgrims

High into the air

Heavens powers fill my arms

Onward now to fight I'm sent

Oh the beast is coming

To put you to the test

(Solo: Mustaine)

Lookout!

Now this land is mine to pilage

Rape, and steal, and take at will

Never let you cross this path

I reign for now I stay to kill
