Gem Stone Poet Lyric

Live like a Jackal, Die like a dog

Hear the flames crackle
Fall on your sword  
Live like a Jackal  
Die like a dog  

The lion is weary
Hyenas dart and bite
Their laughing is eerie
He'll lose his last fight.

The vultures are circling
Eyes that see far 
Their shadow is on you
Wherever you are.

Betrayal was easy
You were attracted to strife 
You gambled with demons  
And wagered my life  

Now dust claims your legend
You can't make it whole 
May hell give you welcome  
for you the bell tolls

So hear the flames crackle  
No lion saves you now  
Live like a Jackal  
Die like a dog
