All Men Must Die

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

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?

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

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

You can fight a thousand men
Or you can fool a thousand one
You can freeze your heart in ice
But death is certain as the sun

Fight for love or fight for vengeance
Fight for honor or redemption
Fight for what you will while you're alive
Or fight to live or fight for power
Or 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
