Living by The sword and dying by The sword, cutting down each other just to even up the score.
Instead of living among each other and our differences endure, we gear it up and get it ready to war.
How long will this madness last? Can we take ah ah step back and just for a moment stop the attacks.
Countless are the fallen everywhere, you look before you pull the trigger and yet continue to shoot thinking to yourself of all this war has took.
Living by The sword and dieing by the sword. Must I say More?
I know it's been like this since the beginning of time but that don't mean I have to make it mine. I'll cling to my dreams of mankind for all kinds. it's time to get past these wars and leave them all behind.
[Verse]
Living by the sword dying by the blade
Trading peace for anger in a game we’ve played
The earth shakes the sky cries with each new scar
But we march ahead like we've gone too far
[Chorus]
By the sword we rise by the sword we fall
Breaking down the silence with the battle's call
How much more will this chaos demand
Before we drop the weapons and unclench our hands
[Verse 2]
Shadows of the fallen stretch across the ground
Echoes of their voices in the shots that pound
We wear our wounds like medals but they only bleed
Feeding the cycle of an endless greed
[Bridge]
What if the answer isn’t found in steel
What if the cure is something we can feel
Take a step back and hear the heartbeats roar
Instead of clashing swords let's open a door
[Chorus]
By the sword we rise by the sword we fall
Breaking down the silence with the battle's call
How much more will this chaos demand
Before we drop the weapons and unclench our hands
[Outro]
Living by the sword dying by the sword
Can’t we find a reason that’s worth fighting for
The madness won’t last if we choose to repair
Lay the swords to rest and show we care
