Killing With Swords

The night silence broken by a growing roar
As the armies of the damned arrive from distant shores
The children of the injured lowered flags half mast
As the retribution started for an unjust past
Come on, get up on your feet, get out on the streets
Let’s show 'em we know what fighting’s for
I’m killing with swords, killing with swords
No more lies, no more words
You ain’t gonna tell me can’t have a sword in the city
When sword it shines so pretty
You’ve been doing things the modern way
For way too long now
Is it any wonder we’ve forgotten what it’s all about
How come nobody takes no pride in doing things right these days?
How come nobody does it the old fashioned way?
I’m killing with swords, killing with swords
No more lies, no more words
You ain’t gonna tell me can’t have a sword in the city
When sword it shines so pretty
I’m going to cut you down baby,
And all of the kids today with their silly guns,
I’ll show 'em how it’s really done
Hollow eyes and polished steal flash across the battlefield
And in my wake I leave pools of blood
Out in the city, out in the suburbs
Cut through the lies you told so long to three hundred million strong
I’m killing with swords, killing with swords
No more lies, no more words
You ain’t gonna tell me can’t have a sword in the city
When sword it shines so pretty
