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

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

If you live by the sword - you will die by the sword If you live by the sword - you will die by the sword

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

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

If you live by the sword - you will die by the sword If you live by the sword - you will die by the sword

Blood and vengeance, iron and bone Fallen warriors, carved in stone

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

If you live by the sword - you will die by the sword If you live by the sword - you will die by the sword
