I'd rather take a shot in the chest 

Than take a shot in the back 

At least I'll see it coming and I'll know where I'm standing at 

To get shot down by your own such a crying shame 

So watch your back no matter what side you take 



You got me caught up in a crossfire 



I'm caught in a crossfire 

Feels like a suicide the heats closing in on me 

When its down to the wire your life on the line 

Will you save me from this 

Chaos surrounding me 



You call yourself a soldier but you've never put your toe to the line 

Cause when the banner flies you're too afraid to ride 

You hang me out to dry you never rendezvous 

Eyes in the back my head they'll be watching you 



I would take death before I deny you 

I would cheat death just to stand by you 

I would fear death if I couldn't see you 

I would take death before I deny you 

Death before deny
