Em
He threw down a glove, you made the mistake

                             C   D
Of picking it up, now you're gone

The choosing of guns or fighting with swords

The choice of weapons is done

Ready to start, the duel begins

                         C  D
The best man wins in the end

Em
A lunge and a feint, a parry too late

                              C   D
A cut to the chest and you're down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G                      D/F#

Em
The fighting resumes, a silence looms

                                C D
The swordsmen move against each other

Em
A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow

                               C   D
A stab to the heart and you're down
[Pre-Chorus 3]
G                  D/F#
The Angel of Death hears your last breath

Em                D         C D
Meanwhile, the reaper looks on

Fought for the splendour

Fought for the pleasure

Oh, oh, fought for the honour

               G    A
Fought for the splendour

D             Em
Fought to the death
