Prepare to Die

about

Prepare to Die is a song based more or less on the character Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride. The lyrics chronicle to some degree the events of his life that bring him to the point of his final act of revenge. The lyrics weren't completely finished at the time of this performance but were finished the following weeks.

lyrics

Prepare to die. Black ribbons dried and bind. Drink away the failing times. Six pence with nothing and no way to track the years gone by. Driven not by patricide but the fire inside resides. Six pence, nothing and no way out. Stop saying that. Stop with your threats. Prepare to dive off the cliffs just you and I. A quick trip to lose our minds. I'm years ahead though for just one tenth the price. I reclaim my soul tonight and this wicked life behind. Cause I've found my one way out. Stop saying that. Stop with your threats. Offer me money. (You kill my father, you son of a bitch. Offer me power. Offer me anything at all. Offer me everything. Stop saying that. Stop with your threats.
