When the Blade Drops Lyrics by Hatebreed

2020

[Verse 1]
Chains forged and worn like a willful captive
Link by link as all life is passing
Self-imposed rusted iron dread
No consolation overhead

[Chorus]
Sharpened steel gleams
Choice is made
The edge cuts clean
Drop the blade
The sand is down to its final grain
With every crown comes the guillotine

[Post-Chorus]
This one sin you can't undo
When the blade drops
Your world is split in two

[Verse 2]
Hearts get flatlined when the grip is released
Beneath the harshest light where all is seen
Dishonor, disgrace and I'll tell you what else
The blade will drop no matter how much you beg for help

[Chorus]
Sharpened steel gleams
Choice is made
The edge cuts clean
Drop the blade
The sand is down to its final grain
With every crown comes the guillotine

[Post-Chorus]
This one sin you can't undo
When the blade drops
Your world is split in two
The sand is down to its final grain
With every crown comes the guillotine
There's nothing you can do to stop it
Drop the blade

[Outro]
There's nothing you can do to stop it
Drop the blade
There's nothing you can do to stop it
Drop it
