[Verse]
It has many names and many faces
Some men flee it, some men chase it
Every man must face it in the end
But no man can escape forever
Sickness, aging, swords that sever
No god, no shield, no keep that can defend

[PreChorus 1]
So you can pray to all the gods, but tell me what will happen when
There is no fire left to start your heart back up again?

[Chorus]
So you can fight for love or fight for vengeance
Fight for honor or redemption
Fight for what you will while you’re alive
Fight to live or fight for power
Never fight a single hour
Fight for what you will, but you can’t hide
'Cause all men must die

[Bridge]
Pray to the old gods, pray to the new
You’re only wasting breath
'Cause soon the endless winter comes and
Bastards and kings are the same in death (blegh!)
[PreChorus 2]
You can fight a thousand men or you could fool one thousand one
You can freeze your heart in ice but death is certain as the sun

[Chorus]
Fight for love or fight for vengeance
Fight for honor or redemption
Fight for what you will while you’re alive
Fight to live or fight for power
Never fight a single hour
Fight for what you will, but you can’t hide
'Cause all men must die

'Cause all men must die
