Lyrics
Live And 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.
When days are shaded and nights have faded
And the still of death fills the air
You savior knowing, the fear is growing
And the darkness strives to hide their wounds
Your blade is true and your conscious too
Why do these thoughts enter your mind?
There's a warm wind blowing and the fire is glowing
It's my choice to live and to die by the sword!
The cowards have all vanished
They retreat in deep despair
For the enemy is more than just a beast inside the lair
They will never find their Savior
So oblivious to their crime
For the paradox of evil leads them through the night
They will rise, in the final hour
We live and die fighting by the sword
To prove that virtue is its own reward
We live and die fighting by the sword
There's no surrender
The order will be restored
An ambush from the mountains
They attack us from behind
The alliance has been broken
There is no more mastermind
We secure our last position
With our shields and with our swords
But our numbers and no match against their mighty hordes
So they rise, and we seal our fate
We live and die fighting by the sword
To prove that virtue is its own reward
We live and die fighting by the sword
There's no surrender
The order will be destroyed!
A genocide, a mortal fate
Release the hounds and feed the hate
And even in defeat, we will survive
So, we live and die fighting by the sword
To prove that virtue is its own reward
We live and die fighting by the sword
There's no surrender
The order will be destroyed!
