Come By the Sword, Die By the Sword
Blind I came toward the sharp and swift
Looking to escape confusing pain..
Lies drip warm..the honey sweet..
Just before truth's cold steel stab
So make it quick
Cut me here..
Why tear away
Again piece by piece
Leaving loves decay
One fatal swoop
The juggler vein
I'll keep my heart
For another day
So cut me here
Face to face
We'll leave the past where it lay
Blood spilled on yesterday's blade
