Píseň: Die By The Sword

Interpret:
Slayer
Album:
Show No Mercy
(Lyrics - Hanneman; Music - Hanneman) 


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 neurtured 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
