How To Die

Raise your voice.
Make your choice.

Calgary Stampede.
Germany blitzkrieg.
The matrix's machines.
Get high on chlorine.

Pick a horse to ride.
Pick a war to fight.
Pick a jet to fly.
I'll show you how to die.

The warriors rage.
On the bloodstained stage.
Fighting for justice.
All against malice.

Stuck in a steel cage.
Listening to the mage.
I cannot resist.
Baby, just one kiss.

Raise your voice.
Make your choice.

Calgary Stampede.
Germany blitzkrieg.
The matrix's machines.
Get high on chlorine.

Pick a horse to ride.
Pick a war to fight.
Pick a jet to fly.
I'll show you how to die.

Romeo must die.
Juliet will cry.
Gina's lullaby.
Kiss Tommy goodbye.

Poet lies there dead.
A blade in his head.
Weave the perfect thread.
That is what was said.

Raise your voice.
Make your choice.

Calgary Stampede.
Germany blitzkrieg.
The matrix's machines.
Get high on chlorine.

Pick a horse to ride.
Pick a war to fight.
Pick a jet to fly.
I'll show you how to die.

My love, it will not end.
Sing of when we were friends.
I never thought I'd say.
Our love affair would fray.

You can't hide it from them.
Don't be such a fool.
The hero within him.
Challenged to a duel.

One last time to kiss.
What did I just miss?
There's no end to this.
Never-ending list.

Not one more trial.
I'm in denial.
The world will end now.
And I'll show you how.

Raise your voice.
Make your choice.

Calgary Stampede.
Germany blitzkrieg.
The matrix's machines.
Get high on chlorine.

Pick a horse to ride.
Pick a war to fight.
Pick a jet to fly.
I'll show you how to die.

Let us spend eternity.
Fermenting in the Red Sea.
The world won't miss you and me.
While heaven waits to receive.

Author's Note
Another old one. This is one of the ones that borders between me being proud of it and being really embarrassed by it.
Romeo and Juliet are obvious. Same stanza, Tommy and Gina are a Bon Jovi reference. Expect more references to my favorite bands.
