Текст песни Ария — You’d Better Believe Me (сборник Штиль,2002)

They called me the "Iron Snake"
Tombed in the city Hell
All my life in Prison
Such a fucking feeling, known so well
But I could break through the walls
I rode the wind that blown
All the road they built there.
I'm so ill, so proud and alone

You'd better believe me!

Then I left and saw a snake
My double might been stall
Oh, My bike's colliding
I had time to realize, that's all!
Dying, nothing feels so strange
I've never felt this way
Lights will got me judging
My numb body crumbling away.

You'd better believe me!

And then I saw the blinding light
Oh, I'll be crucified tonight
I have another wind to ride
Forgive me, Blessed, I'm wrong, not right
And then I saw the blinding light
Oh, I'll be crucified tonight
I have another wind to ride

I have tried to call my friend
He didn't hear my voice
I got up to touch him, maybe they've seen
They have had no choice
Life means death and death means life
The shining told me twice Dying now,
Oh Jesus, I was quiet.
The sun begins to rise

You'd better believe me!

And then I saw the blinding light
Oh, I'll be crucified tonight
I have another wind to ride
Forgive me, Blessed, I'm wrong, not right
And then I saw the blinding light
Oh, I'll be crucified tonight
I have another wind to ride
