You wanna understand this
But you don't know me
Except for what I told ya
Except for what I've shown ya
I'll crush all crisis in my life, and live it my own way
I've left the weakness built by fools and brought the rage

Fracture, rupture, shatter your world
Hammer, butcher, slaughter your world
I am the debt that all men pay
To die with honor, to die with strength
I am the debt that all men pay
Won't die a coward
Won't die in vain, no

You think you own me?
Well you can't own this!
I'm a fucking soldier
A goddamn warrior
I made a promise to myself to rid my life of pain
I'll tow the line of pride in mind and leave behind disgrace

My wish, my choice, my rule, my world
My voice, my right, my cause, my world

I am the debt that all men pay
To die with honor
To die with strength
I am the debt that all men pay
Won't die a coward
Won't die in vain, no
I fought this war and won
My one salvation has forsaken me
My heroes long since gone away
They told me long ago to choose my battles one by one and fight to death until the bitter end

I am the debt that all men pay
To die with honor, to die with strength
I am the debt that all men pay
I am the debt that all men pay
