Lyrics of 'Let Me Be a Hero: The Agreement' by Arsenal Renegade

When you are face to face with death
Your whole life flash through your eyes
Like a movie showing memories of the past
What have we done with our lives?
We started the last battle
Mistakes will not be tolerated
The cold sweat that runs down in your face
Shows the adrenaline in your veins

The nightmare seems to have no end
There is no escape, that's for sure
Sneaking through the barbed wire
Following the sound of cannon fire
I feel the shrapnel scrap my throat

We are one step to succumbing
But we cannot surrender
Crying out desperately for our souls
Like there was no tomorrow
The image of men buried in the snow
Will never leave my mind
They faced their mortal destiny
We will continue with sorrow

The nightmare seems to have no end
There is no escape, that's for sure
Sneaking through the barbed wire
Following the sound of cannon fire
I feel the shrapnel scrap my throat

We're dying like flies in this place
The enemies are attacking us from the flanks
We're running out of ammunition
All food stocks are gone
And all the medicine are frozen
We're almost out of infantry, please!

We have to surrender
The war is lost
We will not be able to move another mile
We have reached a point of no return
They play host while
We are doomed to face death on the ice
The men are becoming zombies before my eyes
And they're eating their last horses
For God's sake

Then I see a sinister creature emerge
In the middle of the smoke
His voice sounds
Like a thousand people talking at the same time
The creature calls my name

As if we had some intimacy
The creature is approaching slowly
And my body is freezing and paralyzing
None of my companions can see it
But I see it and I hear it clearly
Then the creepy
Creature makes me an offer
So I realize I'm dead

And I saw the reaper of death
And he took the reins
And I felt his cold hand touch my half-dead heart
And I cried: Bring me back, just one more time
And he said: You will have a new chance!

Do you want to pay the price?
Then I heard the clamor of the troops
Their lack of faith caused them to lose hope
That everything seems to be in vain
This goddamn war!
So I recover my strength
And suddenly I see myself in the middle of the front

I'm back in the game
I don't feel pain anymore
Something really strange happened here
I can hardly believe what my eyes saw
Faced with this, strangely I remain calm
Numbed by supernatural mist

Now you have a pact with me. A blood pact
That will last until the end of your life
And in due time
I will charge my price
Do not even think about turning your back on me
Because if you do
You will find out in the worst way

Why do they call me the root of all evil
We celebrated a blood agreement here
Break the pact and will suffer severe consequences
I'll be claimin what's mine by right
Break the pact and will suffer severe consequences
I'm willing to pay the price
My life, in your hands
