Lyrics
Sword Of Damocles
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.
Will you take the dare if it was ever placed
There's danger to challenge the throne
Deceivers will rise and weave their web of stealth
Can you face them standing alone?
When men lead by words that are false as they preach
Fatality waits in the wings
Surrounded by fools behind walls that are breached
Beware if the jester that sings
Stand tall rise up stay strong fighting your enemies
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword
The whispers can't hide when the tongues are let loose
Then hiding the truth is absurd
A stab in the back or taste of the noose
Is when action speaks louder than words
Stand tall rise up stay strong fighting your enemies
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword
Wield the spear of light
Guard it with your life
Wield the spear of light
Guard it with your life
Sword of Damocles
Sword of Damocles
Stand tall rise up stay strong fighting your enemies
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword
