The Shield Lyrics by Time Destroyer

Doxa: Volume 1

0

Set off the trumpets, string up the noose
Prepare for the one to make way
Bury your head in the sand if you choose
The night always turns into day

To arms, to arms
The beast lives inside and threatens to tear us apart
Take heed, take heed
Destroying us piece by piece

Our bones are weak
Beg for the noose
All you can hope for is to
Pray for peace
Pray for blood
Pray for reason
Pray now

Make way
There are no words that thе sword can't say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Surrendеr
Make way
There are no words that the sword can't say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Living behind the shield

We're forced to battle and fight for our homes
Armored only with terror and hope
The flood will remove us from what we love most
This day is written in stone

Broken
Not defeated
Broken
It's still worth saving

Make way
There are no words that the sword can't say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Surrender
Make way
There are no words that the sword can't say
Winning a war takes more than a day
Living behind the shield

We'll go to war and we'll make them pay
We'll draw them out of their caves
Swallow your anger, swallow your rage
Violence will make you a slave

Suffering
Victory
Suffering

Suffering, suffer for vanity
Misery, misery will come to be
