Die by the Sword

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The world around us, frozen in terror The balance of power, a thing of the past Anything human has been abandoned We're just drowning souls in a river of blood [Pre-Chorus] What was built up in thousands of years In just a moment is destroyed Have we lost all compassion and love Cast our souls into the void (Oh, oh, oh, oh) [Chorus] If you live by the sword You will die by the sword (Oh, oh, oh, oh) If you live by the sword You will die by the sword [Verse 2] We're sinking deeper in a world of darkness It's kill or be killed from the day we are born We're an evil seed from the soul of a serpent An evil breed in a valley of thorns [Pre-Chorus] What was built up in thousands of years In just a moment is destroyed Have we lost all compassion and love Cast our souls into the void (Oh, oh, oh, oh) [Chorus] If you live by the sword You will die by the sword (Oh, oh, oh, oh) If you live by the sword You will die by the sword [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Blood and vengeance, iron and bone Fallen warriors, carved in stone [Verse 3] Crush this mindless desire for blood And stop this endless crusade Conquer our instincts and lay down the steel Save our children from the blade (Oh, oh, oh, oh) [Chorus] If you live by the sword You will die by the sword (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Oh, if you live by the sword You will die by the sword
