Live by the Sword Lyrics


The time has come for the mighty armies to rise

To claim the power given them as their birthright

To purge this earth of dishonour and falsity

To teach thses men to live by the sword

These men who rape the land in peace,

Who reap rewards of their fucked beliefs

Forever tied, by toil, by fear

Grow weaker with each passing year

Lolled in the mire of life's discord

Deserted those who'd kept their word

Seduced by lust, love's embrace warm

The deathface of the scarlet whore

But like a thief in the night, we'll come

With fire and steel, with hatred's blood

To raze their crops and rape their wives

Beat ploughshares into gleaming knives

Burn the children, set their souls free

To fly and find their destiny

No longer bound in slavery

To live by the sword as life should be

And when the moment comes to die

To die by the sword with dignity

Seduced by lust, love's embrace warm

The deathface of the scarlet whore

The time has come for the mighty armies to rise

To claim the power given them as their birthright

To purge this earth of dishonour and falsity

To teach thses men to live by the sword

Like a thief in the night, we'll come

With fire and steel, with hatred's blood

To raze their crops and rape their wives

Beat ploughshares into gleaming knives

Burn the children, set their souls free

To fly and find their destiny

No longer bound in slavery

To live by the sword as life should be

We'll live by the sword a joyous life

We'll live by the sword so we'll be free

We'll live by the sword and when we die

We'll die by the sword with dignity
