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
