Die With Your Boots On
Iron Maiden
Piece Of Mind • 1983
Lyrics
Yeah, another prophet of disaster, who says this ship is lost
Another prophet of disaster leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions, afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions, in the hope that one appears
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who’s to go
No point asking, what’s the game
No point asking, who’s to blame
‘Cause if you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die, die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
13, the beast is rising, the Frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation, the Warlord will arise
Terror, death, destruction pour from the eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions is always in your hands
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who’s to go
No point asking, what’s the game
No point asking, who’s to blame
‘Cause if you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
(If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Gonna die, ha ha, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
They die, when they found sun
Yes, they die
They die, they die, when they found sun
We die, we die, we die, we die, we die, we die
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who’s to go
No point asking, what’s the game
No point asking, who’s to blame
‘Cause if you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
(If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, try and just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, die
Another prophet of disaster leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions, afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions, in the hope that one appears
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who’s to go
No point asking, what’s the game
No point asking, who’s to blame
‘Cause if you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die, die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
13, the beast is rising, the Frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation, the Warlord will arise
Terror, death, destruction pour from the eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions is always in your hands
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who’s to go
No point asking, what’s the game
No point asking, who’s to blame
‘Cause if you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
(If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Gonna die, ha ha, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
They die, when they found sun
Yes, they die
They die, they die, when they found sun
We die, we die, we die, we die, we die, we die
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who’s to go
No point asking, what’s the game
No point asking, who’s to blame
‘Cause if you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
(If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die (If you’re gonna die)
If you’re gonna die
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, try and just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on if you’re gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along if you’re gonna die, die
