Babylon – Live To Die Another Day

“Live to Die Another Day” is a song by the American heavy metal band W.A.S.P., featured during the Babylon era, and showcases a more reflective yet still powerful side of the group’s sound. Rooted in heavy metal and hard rock, the track blends driving riffs with a darker, almost contemplative atmosphere, carried by Blackie Lawless’s distinctive vocal style.

The song explores themes of survival, consequence, and inner conflict, moving beyond shock value toward a more mature and introspective tone. Musically, it balances melody and heaviness, allowing emotion and tension to coexist with W.A.S.P.’s signature intensity.

“Live to Die Another Day” stands as an example of the band’s later-period evolution — maintaining their aggressive identity while embracing deeper lyrical content and a more atmospheric approach to metal songwriting.

Yes I walk through valleys deep
Shadows of death I will fear no thing
I fear no man and no evil speak
No slave to grave and no death to be
Almighty’s riding next to me
I know I’ve, I got the devil to beat

Hellbounds are running close to me
On the trail of my life
I was hellbound but now I’m running free
From Satan’s Angels of Light

Resurrect me high
An then rise me up
Reaper leaving my bones
I’m dead asleep until now
You wake me up
Rapture me and I’m gone

I’ll live to die
Die another day
Another place, another time
I’ll live to die Oh Lord I’ll
Rise to life again
I will live to die another time

Oh so close I feel him breathe
Devil’s come for my life
Showdown’s a coming round ya see
A bigger gun I come to take his life

Resurrect me high
And shake me up
Leave the Reaper my bones
Raise the dead in me now
And take me up
Rapture me and I’m gone

Yes I walk through valleys deep
I will fear no man I will fear no speak
No slave to grave and no death to be
Almighty’s riding next to me
