Code Of Hammurabi

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.

Life, death to live by the code

Ancient tales are the stories told

We must enforce Babylonian code of the law

Rise, fall, the lines been drawn

Civilization at the break of dawn

They take control of the chaos that they know

Eye for an eye for an eye

This is the code that I speak

Eye for an eye for an eye

The strong will not injure the weak

Fight, flight, start to unfold

Need to identify friend or foe

Your inner strength is the only way to survive

Black, white, the price of gold

Human lives being bought and sold

Destroying minds and the innocence of life

Eye for an eye for an eye

Live by the code that we keep

Eye for an eye for an eye

The shepherd will gather his sheep

Right, wrong show your proof

The consequence is a tooth for a tooth

Don't be a thief or you'll pay the price with your hand

Young, old you die by the code

What you reap is what you shall sow

Commit a crime and you'll feel the force of the law

Eye for an eye for an eye

This is the code that I speak

Eye for an eye for an eye

The strong will not injure the weak

Eye for an eye for an eye

Live by the code that we keep

Eye for an eye for an eye

The shepherd will gather his sheep
