Die By the Sword
Once you have won your freedom, my friend,
And established your rights as a man
Do not tarry with your sword held high
Melt it in fire as soon as you can
For there are those who see tyranny
In arrogance displayed as power
And the will is strong and eternal
To destroy the man in the tower
You will be called as your time draws nigh
Sword or old age - which way will you die
