"Live By The Sword" lyrics

"Live By The Sword"

I wish you could've seen the way the color all but drained from my face
Like a knife inside my stomach, opened up right at the pit of my rage
Do you feel shame?

Someday you'll get what you gave
How can you sleep?
Live by the sword, die the same
With the blood stains
Someday you'll get what you gave
On your body
Live by the sword, die the same
And if you're so brave
Why'd you hide your face?

You'll answer for lives you take, the lies you spew
The way you justify your hate and deny the truth
It makes me fucking sick to see the sight of you and your fool's parade
But someday you'll get what you gave
I could tear apart my throat
Begging for an empathy you'd never show
But someday, someday you'll get what you gave
Live by the sword, die the same

Well, if you've got such conviction, then I think it's probably time that you pray
And while you're begging for forgiveness, just remember all the choices you made
You'll bleed the same blood

Someday you'll get what you gave
'Cause you know
Live by the sword, die the same
The bell tolls
Someday you'll get what you gave
For us all
Live by the sword, die the same
Eventually
You'll have to pay

You'll answer for lives you take, the lies you spew
The way you justify your hate and deny the truth
It makes me fucking sick to see the sight of you and your fool's parade
But someday you'll get what you gave
I could tear apart my throat
Begging for an empathy you'd never show
But someday, someday you'll get what you gave
Live by the sword, die the same

Oh, the lines gonna break
Oh, the times will be changed
And I'll smile when I say
Someday you'll get what you gave
Live by the sword die the same
