By The Sword

By The Sword

A Poem by AlmostWhatIWant

When loyalty just isn't enough, and your bravery isn't up to snuff
They'll call you out to defend what you swore to uphold
So grab the shaft of the sword and get ready to go for the gold
To all the members of the court we have here assembled
I'm about to let you know you have sinned with our dear devil here
Her grace in your eyes was an effect that could hypnotize
Even the most faithful of the lord's committed souls

Tell them that on this night
Murder will be on wings
Hell shall take flight
And no prayer
Or place of worship will be safe
(The simplicity of it all)
He shall give and then take it away

When praying just isn't enough, and your faith isn't up to snuff
They'll call you out to defend what you swore to uphold
You find your sword missing from your waist, your allies gone
To all the members of the court we have here assembled
I'm about to let you know you have sinned with our dear devil here
But I ask you to only have the utmost amount of fear
Because respect just wouldn't cover the soon to come tears

Tell them that on this night
Murder will be on wings
Hell shall take flight
And no prayer
Or place of worship will be safe
(The simplicity of it all)
He shall give and then take it away

He'll take it away, take it all away
Watch your judgment be swayed
You're as dependent as those who cannot be saved
From the substance that hold's their fate
As soon as the convenience is gone
Watch your faith be revoked
Your religion gone

Tell them that on this night
Murder will be on wings
Hell shall take flight
And no prayer
Or place of worship will be safe
(The simplicity of it all)
He has forsaken and taken away

:3 I love this song, it still reminds me of something tough...

...Not to mention it reminds me of me and my "friends"...

Good job though, I really like the way you write, the chorus is fantastic in my opinion.
