[Verse 1]
In the winter's icy grip
Where the snowflakes gently slip
A duel unfolds, a code of honour they abide
Two strangers face to face, a match of two collide
Revenge seeks solace, to the barrier they stride
Pistol poised, a defenceless target in sight
Cornermen whisper setting point of honour right
A banned practice, a distance of ten steps away
Where hardly ever onе's aim goes astray, oh

[Refrain]
Barrel to barrel
Pick a sidе
Pistols poised, barrel to barrel
The luck's on the winner's side
A life-threatening dance where reputations ride
Place your bets, place your bets
To win or to lose is in the duel's embrace

[Verse 2]
My excuse is to define the truth
In the battle between me and you
Reconciliation seems nothing but a dream
As we step to the fore in the winter's gleam
[Refrain]
Pick a side, pick a side
Stakes are high, stakes are high
In the tarnished snow a dead honour will lie
The bloodier the better I say
And to the last blood I'm gonna stand

[Outro]
Amidst the smoke and cries of pain
A moment of doubt, a chance to reclaim
There's no way to hide, the wounds run deep and wide
The choice to heal or let revenge reside
No painkillers I need
I deserved it all indeed
(Though) Though I'm down on my knees
I have battled my old me
