"The Brave"
Lyrics:




Anticipation brings the crowd to its knees
The evil are playing games and it’s life we seek

Man and animal are just waiting for trial
Trumpets blow and the games begin and the king and queen must smile

Thin with deliverance and the will to live
Disgrace so lonely one life and it’s a life to give

Only the brave ones don’t fear to die
Only the brave men don’t fear to die

Bullying for position in a race to their death
Whips crack on horses backs and it’s gasping for breath

Pounding the damaged bodies deep in the trench
Fighting the wreckage of men with a future so black

Chariots on fire with a hate and despair
Chariots are pushing on and it’s a run for their life

Only the brave ones don’t fear to die
Only the brave men don’t fear to die

Only the brave ones don’t fear to die
Only the brave men don’t fear to die
Only the brave ones don’t fear to die
Only the brave men don’t fear to die

Time to die!
