[Verse 1]
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 the stench of sin
He delivered me a message that I’ll never forget

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I won’t pretend that I’m a tough guy
I’d like to think that I value my life
I remember father told me never turn down a fight
You see I got a few tricks up my own sleeve
And none of them involve giving into nothing
So I charged at the man and I threw up my hands
Balled up my fists, swinging 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
[Chorus]
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 remembered what he said with every ounce of my life

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

[Outro]
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
