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
