Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You doubt your strength or courage?
Don't come to join with me
For death surely awaits you
With sharp and pointy teeth
[Chorus]
An animal so vicious
No others fought and won
So on the fields of battle
We are the chosen ones
[Verse 2]
Human bones blanket the dirt
Of the heathen's lair
That we must pass this den of death
The only path from here
[Chorus]
But I walk in the light
The time to die has come
No one shall take my life
I'm of the chosen ones
