Ten Duel Commandments

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
 It's the ten duel commandments
 It's the ten duel commandments
 Number one!
 The challenge, demand satisfaction
 If they apologize, no need for further action
 Number two!
 If they don't, grab a friend, that's your second
 Your Lieutenant, when there's reckoning to be reckoned
 Number three!
 Have your seconds meet face to face
 Negotiate a peace
 Or negotiate a time and place
 This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits
 Most disputes die and no one shoots
 Number four!
 If they don't reach a peace, that's alright
 Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site
 You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility
 You have him turn around, so he can have deniability
 Five!
 Duel before the sun is in the sky
 Pick a place to die where it's high and dry
 Number six!
 Leave a note for your next of kin
 Tell 'em where you been
 Pray that Hell or Heaven lets you in
 Seven!
 Confess your sins
 Ready for the moment of adrenaline
 When you finally face your opponent
 Number eight!
 Your last chance to negotiate
 Send in your seconds
 See if they can set the record straight
 Alexander
 Aaron Burr, sir
 Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?
 Sure
 But your man has to answer for his words, Burr
 With his life?
 We both know that's absurd, sir
 Hang on, how many men died because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous?
 Okay, so we're doing this
 Number nine!
 Look him in the eye, aim no higher
 Summon all the courage you require
 Then count
 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
 Number (Ten paces!) Fire!
