Ready to Die Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is your time to pay
This is your judgment day
We made a sacrifice
And now we get to take your life
We shoot without a gun
We'll take on anyone
It's really nothing new
It's just a thing we like to do

[Chorus]
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)
You better get ready to kill (get ready to kill)
You better get ready to run, 'cause here we come
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)

[Verse 2]
Your life is over now
Your life is running out
When your time is at an end
Then it's time to kill again
We cut without a knife
We live in black and white
You're just a parasite
Now close your eyes and say goodnight
[Chorus]
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)
You better get ready to kill (get ready to kill)
You better get ready to run, 'cause here we come
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)

[Outro]
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)
Get ready to die (get ready to die)
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)
Get ready to die (get ready to die)
You better get ready to die (get ready to die)
Get ready to die
Been a long time coming
Now you better get running
And you better get ready to die

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
