All you would show to working men
Is your crooked crescent lips
Their limbs and their throats just hang by threads
Wrapped around your fingertips
I raise my sword as a shield
Harden my soul into steel
Yes, my sword may shatter
And explode like daggers
But off of me they'll ricochet right
Back at you like pouring rain
Oh, you would trap a thousand nameless pawns
Without cages, without chains
The ones who we lost from your wars we fought
Were all puppets in your game
I raise my sword as a shield
Harden my soul into steel
Yes, my sword may shatter
And explode like daggers
But off of me they'll ricochet right
Back at you like pouring rain
Reign from the iron fists for life
Is a burden we can't lift
I once had the fight of a radiant knight
Before I learned that justice may never exist
Is it all for naught?
Is it use for fighting on?
I raise my sword as a shield
Harden my soul into steel
Yes, my sword may shatter
And explode like daggers
But off of me they'll ricochet right
Back at you like pouring rain
