Live By the Sword Die By the Sword

His skin left saging on the ground the blistered rank and smells of stink children run and play with bombs adults justify themselves Play with the sword, die what you do is what you get His skin left saging on the ground sometimes it drugs the reasons found Sometimes it is, that kings want more sometimes it is, worth fighting fore his skin left saging on the ground the wars and life go quickly round Death and dying can be found perhaps someday when wisdom grows we'll find a better life to know our mind is such that we could plan A better life, that would be grand and yet with those that will not see what you give come's back to the with drugs and weapons ugly rides With weapons from the drug time tribes death and dying we can't hide blood lies turning grass to red the battle fields quickly spread Saladin and Richard, rivers ran with blood today we are no wiser the battle crys the same the Muslins and the Christians create the death of sons The bible says that we should love that is the song from up above and yet you breed your sons for war repeating lessons ever more People that bring weapons to the games of life they play create the death and dying come's back to them someday A thousand years have come and gone and yet the fighting carry's on will children from our futures lives lay dying from the future lies
