Accept - Die By The Sword

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
