Why should I now play the Roman fool and die on my own sword You made me into whatever I am, for every sin of mine the blame is yours So bring it on do your worst my ex-friend, I'll surrender but only by force I'll never yield, I'll never give in to you I'll never yield, This siege mentality is all down to you Well it was not so very long ago I was courted by your heads of state You turned a blind eye to human rights just as long as I played your game But now it suits you to have me removed, you think I'll simply walk away I'll never yield, I'll never give in to you I'll never yield, This siege mentality is all down to you Siege Mentality My armies will die for me I laugh at your naivety And sneer at your kind from within my confines No matter how much the wind should howl, the mountain still cannot bow You took my riches in exchange for arms, I'll use them against you now So let the mother of all conflicts begin, I'll show the world and how I'll never yield, I'll never give in to you I'll never yield, This siege mentality is all down to you I'll never yield, You'll never take me alive I'll never yield, This siege mentality is how I survive
