Marching 'midst the fire through night's unending shade
Though chaos blinds these eyes my purpose ne'er shall fade
Each scar doth bear a tale each wound a solemn vow
No turning back-my destined hour is now
The war-drum beats it calleth me by name
Through blood and dust I do assert mine claim
No regret nor fear to abide
Lo 'tis a good day to die!
'Tis a good day to die for reasons now laid bare
No more riddles no deceit the truth lights up the air
With fists raised high and a battle-cry
'Tis a good day to die for reasons now laid bare
Fate be a shadow yet her chains I've cleft in twain
I shall tear down heaven's vault and dance amid the flame
Though war be endless my soul remaineth alive
I yield mine own breath to flourish and survive
Step by step I tread the perilous ledge
One final oath one last pledge
If on this day I fall let the world ignite
For I leave behind an unyielding fight
'Tis a good day to die for reasons now laid bare
No more riddles no deceit the truth lights up the air
With fists raised high and a battle-cry
'Tis a good day to die for reasons now laid bare
Not as martyr nor as slave
I carve my name upon the grave
I bleed for this; let all else burn
This be my rise and my return!
'Tis a good day to die
When fire doth blaze within thine eyes
No regret nor fear denied
'Tis a good day to die
