The Shadow of the Sword Songtext
von Samael

Listen!

This is a true story, based on reality
A mass of frenzy, a poison sold as remedy
They tell you knowledge is a curse but ignorance ain′t bliss
They tell you love one another while waging war for peace

Delusion, fraud and deception
The foundation of religion
Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword

Middle age in the 21st century
Struggling to survive modernity
Trapped in a time of obscurantism
Where minds rely on archaism


Arrogance, wealth and violence
The trinity of monotheism
Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the
Sword

Is it that holy, tell me, to decide to be nothing more than a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the
Sword
Arrogance, wealth and violence
The trinity of monotheism

Arrogance, wealth and violence
The trinity of monotheism
Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man?
Trading life with death, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the
Sword.
