[Verse] People say don't get caught up in your moment Your moment is fleeting People say it's never over till the fat lady's singing And they sing "death or glory" [Pre-Chorus] Where I am in life I'll be honest When you're young You think you're in a moment And it's easy to look back on your life and be like "That was my moment" And for me It was in 2004 when I wrote the best album of my career I wrote my greatest songs And I thought I was in my moment But I'm in my moment right now And every time I have a moment I'm in my moment And it's only gonna get bigger Better We know what's comin' This is it Now Death or glory [Chorus] And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory [Verse 2] This is the point in the show where I like to introduce you to my band All the members of the band are creatures of the swamp Born in the swamps of the Midwest The marshes of the Midwest The ones that are standing in front of you right now The ones who have not succumbed to the dangers of the swamp You see If you go into the swamp You must be careful You must be careful And you must be ready Because it's not just the alligators And it's not just the snakes There are other things in the swamp that will get you There are things in the swamp that will come and get you And so these are the people that have survived the swamp And so if you are not careful The swamp will take you And you will not leave the swamp [Chorus] And they were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory [Bridge] I remember I remember my first time in the swamp I remember the first time I went in the swamp It was late at night I went in there with my friends We were looking for some kind of creature It was a creature of the night And the creature He got one of my friends And he looked at me And he said "You are not ready" He said "You are not ready" And he let me go And the next day I woke up and I found my friend My friend was dead And he had a mark on his forehead It said "Death or glory" And I knew I knew that it was the creature It was the creature of the swamp And he had told me He said "You are not ready" He said "You are not ready" And so I went back into the swamp and I looked for the creature And when I found him I said "I'm ready" I said "I'm ready now" And he said "Show me" He said "Show me" And he tried to attack me And I fought back I fought back And I fought back And I came out of that swamp And I was ready And I was ready I was ready And I knew I knew that it was gonna be me or it was gonna be him And it was gonna be death or it was gonna be glory [Chorus] And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory And we were singing Death or glory
