To Live to Die

All thoughts on the concept aside, I was curious what the Japanese phrase for "to live to die" is. From what I can tell from movies, it is 'shomo-tekido.' Am I being a silly westerner for trusting a romanticized samurai movie (Lone Wolf and Cub) or am I somewhat correct?

I'm interested in both the spelling/pronunciation in romanji and the kanji characters associated with the phrase. Any alterations and the contexts and meanings surrounding said variations are quite welcome.

Domo arigatou gozaimashita,
