Strength To Die

Do you have the strength to die

Can you stand being burned alive

Do you have the nerve to try

Close your eyes and say goodbye

If you can’t hang then you failed

Yet if you’ve a love for books

There’s your ticket to the stakes

You don’t have to break no rules

Do you have what it takes

To turn your back on snakes

Can you raise your standards

In the face of dangers

Do you have a heart

Can you play a part

Any part at all

Get off the damn wall
