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
