Come By the Sword, Die By the Sword

A warriors ways will never change It's always the best who'll win By cunning strength or will to fight The enemies life must end Words and boasting fuel the fight And search for fears within But words are not castles And they cannot defend Land, turf and women And women for their men Jealousy is just another cause For a fight to begin Rumours and sedition Could kill your next of kin Just like Cain killed his brother Even though it was a sin Greed and deprivation breeds Wars and revolutions Some men die not fighting But by their execution An unstoppable force Meets an unmovable foe And death is the only solution What ever reason there may be Where violence is the institution But come by the sword And you'll die by the sword And this is my resolution Face me and you'll soon see I'll not die by execution
