Lyrics
The Shadow Of 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.
Listen!
This is a true story, based on reality
A mass of frenzy, a poison sold as remedy
They tell you knowledge is a curse but ignorance ain't bliss
They tell you love one another while waging war for peace
Delusion, fraud and deception
The foundation of religion
Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword
Middle age in the 21st century
Struggling to survive modernity
Trapped in a time of obscurantism
Where minds rely on archaism
Arrogance, wealth and violence
The trinity of monotheism
Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword
Is it that holy, tell me, to decide to be nothing more than a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword
Arrogance, wealth and violence
The trinity of monotheism
Arrogance, wealth and violence
The trinity of monotheism
Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword
