Lyrics for Die By The Sword

Live by the sword and help to contain the helpless minds of you all Die by my hand in pools of blood, clutch yourself as you fall Mindless tyranny, forgotten victims, children slaughtered in vain Raping the maids, in which they serve only the words of the Lord Die by the sword Die by the sword Satan watches all of us, smiles as some do his bidding Try to escape the grasp of my hand, and your life will no longer exist Hear our cry, save us from the Hell in which we live We turn our heads toward the sky and listen for the steel Die by the sword Die by the sword Watch as flowers decay on the cryptic life that died The wisdom of the wizards is only a nurtured lie Black knights of Hell's domain walk upon the dead Satanas sits upon the blood on which he feeds Die by the sword Die by the sword
