Cut off the head

twist the blade

burn the stump

rub in the salt

repeat.

You think you've got a chance at hurting me?

You think you'll put a dent in my pride?

I wish you the best of luck, because honestly,

people better than you have tried.

You think I'll go down easy?

You think I won't fight?

You think I'll let you win?

Over my dead body.

I'll leave you a bloody mess,

a wreck,

a tragedy, 

a sob story.

There will be stories about it

warning others of your fate.

So sir, I'll warn you one last time:

turn back before it's too late.
