LYRICS

He threw down the glove you made the mistake

Of picking it up and you're gone.

A choosing of guns or fighting with swords

The choice of weapons is done.

He'll tear you apart as soon as you start

You know you don't have a chance.

Oh Oh Fight for the honour

Fight for the splendour

Fight for the pleasure.

Oh oh Fight for the honour

Fight for the splendour

Fight for your life.

Ready to start, the duel begins

The best man wins in the end.

A lunge and a feint, a parry too late

A cut to the chest and you're down.

Seeing the stain, feeling the pain

Feeling the sweat on your brow.

Oh oh, Fight for the honour

Fight for the splendour

Fight for the pleaure.

Oh oh, Fight for the honour

Fight for the splendour

Fight for your life.

The fighting resumes, a silence looms

The swordsmen move against each other.

A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow

A stab to the heart and you're down.

The Angel of Death hears your last breath

Meanwhile the Reaper looks on.

Oh oh, Fought for the honour.

Fought for the splendour

Fought for the pleasure.

Oh oh, Fought for the honour.

Fought for the splendour

Fought to the death.
