Duél

In the winter's icy grip

Where the snowflakes gently slip

A duel unfolds

A code of honour they abide

Two strangers face to face

A match of two collide

Revenge seeks solace

To the barrier they stride

Pistol poised

A defenceless target in sight

Corner men whisper setting point of honour right

A banned practice

A distance of ten steps away

Where hardly ever one's aim goes astray, oh-oh-oh

Barrel to barrel

Pick a side

Pistols poised, barrel to barrel

The luck's on the winner's side

A life-threatening dance where reputations ride

Place your bets, place your bets

To win or to lose is in the duel's embrace

My excuse is to define the truth

In the battle between me and you

Reconciliation seems nothing but a dream

As we step to the fore in the winter's gleam

Pick a side, pick a side

Stakes are high, stakes are high

In the tarnished snow a dead honour will lie

The bloodier the better, I say

And to the last blood I'm gonna stand

Amidst the smoke and cries of pain

A moment of doubt, a chance to reclaim

There's no way to hide

The wounds run deep and wide

The choice to heal or let revenge reside

No painkillers I need

I deserved it all indeed

Though I'm down on my knees

I have battled my old me
