this is a fight to the death

Okay, I've been doing "Body Pump" classes at the Y and heard some lyrics from a song that really grabbed my attention.  I googled the lyrics and found out the song is "Conquistador" by 30 Seconds to Mars (mmm - Jared Leto).  I think this is going to become my anthem for the time being.



Here are the lyrics:

This is a fight to the death, our holy war
A new romance, a Trojan whore
We will, we will, we will rise again
This is a fight for the day, night, black and white
A victory dance, a burning riot
We will, we will, we will rise again

Hey, hey, say a prayer

I am the best she claimed and more
A battle scarred conquistador
We will, we will, we will rise again
This is a fight for our love, lust, hate, desire
We are the children of the great empire
We will, we will, we will rise again

Hey, hey, say a prayer
This is a fight to the death!
We will, we will, we will rise again
Hey, hey, say a prayer
This is a fight to the death!

My favorite line is "this is a fight to the death!"  That idea popped up in a Joel Osteen sermon I was listening to recently.  It stood out to me and I thought, "Yeah, I have to have that warrior-like tenacity - to not give up when it gets tough but to keep getting back up.  I will keep fighting for my dreams until the day I die.  I will fight to the death!"  I love that idea.  And then I came across this song.  Coincidence?  I think not :)
