I once met a man in a dream one night
Who seemed to have nothing to lose
Oh, his eyes were like two red, fiery pits
He stumbled up to me like he'd, had a few
He looked me in the eyes, and without a word
He saw right through my soul
And with an evil little grin, and a stench of sin
He delivered me a message that I'll never forget
Put your hands up, this is your last chance
So boy, prepare to die
Get ready to meet your maker
Before I put one right between your eyes
Get ready (get ready)
For your resignation
Get ready (get ready)
For your salvation
'Cause when you wake up, you'll realize
Who even cares if you're dead
If you were never alive
I won't pretend that I'm a tough guy
I'd like to think I value my life
I remember father told me never turn down a fight
You see, I've got a few tricks up my own sleeve
And none of them involve giving in to nothing
So I charged at the man and I threw up my hands
Balled up my fists, swing as hard as I can
But to my surprise, he was faster than I
And the next thing I know, I feel colder than ice
Put your hands up, this is your last chance
So boy, prepare to die
Get ready to meet your maker
Before I put one right between your eyes
Get ready (get ready)
For your resignation
Get ready (get ready)
For your salvation
'Cause when I woke up, and I opened my eyes
I'll remember what he said with every ounce of my life
(He said)
Put your hands up, this is your last chance
So boy, prepare to die
Get ready to meet your maker
Before I put one right between your eyes
Get ready (get ready)
For your resignation
Get ready (get ready)
For your salvation
'Cause when I woke up, I realized
That no one cares if I'm dead
If I was never alive
Put your hands up, this is your last chance
So boy, prepare to die
Get ready to meet your maker
Before I put one right between your eyes
Get ready
For your resignation
Get ready
For your salvation
