Die By The Sword
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world around us, frozen in terror
The balance of power, a thing of the past
Anything human has been abandoned
We're just drowning souls in a river of blood
What was built up in thousands of years
In just a moment is destroyed
Have we lost all compassion and love
Cast our souls into the void
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword
We're sinking deeper in a world of darkness
It's kill or be killed from the day we are born
We're an evil seed from the soul of a serpent
An evil breed in a valley of thorns
What was built up in thousands of years
In just a moment is destroyed
Have we lost all compassion and love
Cast our souls into the void
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword
Blood and vengeance, iron and bone
Fallen warriors, carved in stone
Crush this mindless desire for blood
And stop this endless crusade
Conquer our instincts and lay down the steel
Save our children from the blade
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword
