Lyrics

Die by the sword

The noises and smell
I just can`t tell
About the horror I`ve seen
My friends just vanished
The cruelty left me silent
Baby you don't wanna know

Chorus:

They say if you live by the sword
You will die by it
My only wish is to die by your side
That's why I fight
I want to stay alive

The bullets and fire
I just can`t talk
About the crying I`ve heard
My believe was shattered
The fear left me broken
Baby you don't wanna know

Chorus:

They say if you live by the sword
You will die by it
My only wish is to die by your side
That's why I fight
I want to stay alive

Reading the papers
Searching for the message
My dreams all vanished
My emptiness inside
Left no room for us to hide
Baby you don't wanna know

Chorus:

They say if you live by the sword
You will die by it
My only wish is that you die by my side
That's why I fight for us
I want you to stay alive

Your missing is aching
My faith in you is shaking
These killing fields
May leave us broken
These nightmares haunt me
Baby you don't wanna know etc
