lyrics: the blink of an eye – live by the sword

cd: The Blink of an Eye

track 1: Live by the Sword

Live by the sword, die by the sword
Leave your love crying at the door
She might wait for you

The first time you’re forgiven
But there’s warning in the wind
When she sees how close you’re livin’
To the end

Chorus

And the war pipes only haunt her
When she hears them from afar
Has your young life been taken
By the war?

Chorus

Revenge has caused your blindness
And you do what you must do
Through the hatred she’s reminded
She’ll face the truth

Chorus

For you the fights a hunger
It cannot be satisfied
Like a cold and distant lover’s
Selfish pride

Chorus

Live by the sword , die by the sword
