you can't take me -
as i silently stand at the gate
with uncaring patience i shall wait
it is i, alone, who stands in front
as the legions of hell prepare to hunt
a rumbling sound, the three-headed hounds'
bark calls the start a glorious prize to he who burns my eyes
and brings back my heart
the chase is on
i will not die...
you can't take me -
i've led the hounds into the dark
their eyes are glaring crimson marks
they smell the fear that kills my mind
it makes me easy prey to find
lightning swift, a shadow shifts
react, don't think
we drop like bricks into the river styx
into amnesia i sink
the chase is on
i will not die...
every day, i gaze into the blind eyes of death
and shake him like none before me.
and, although i no longer know who i am, i will survive...
i will not die!
