Lyrics Like a Sword - Sol Invictus

Like a Sword

Broken wings, a fallen king
Embraced this world and all it’s sins
The future’s dead and all my dreams stillborn
In bloody games and tattered uniforms
And from the north comes a steel-gray host
To purge my mind of all it’s screaming ghosts
An angel sings, an eagle soars
And the moonlight falls, falls like a sword
And an angel sings, an eagle soars
And the moonlight falls, falls like a sword
I saw a church, a whisper of purity
But it fell and drowned in a poisoned sea
And my eyes weep like melting ice
At a world plagued with human lice
An angel sings, an eagle soars
And the sunlight falls, falls like a sword
And an angel sings, an eagle soars
And the sunlight falls, falls like a sword
Alas, Europa, a museum for fools
And the storm gathers over you
And shall we wait beneath a raven banner?
They say this world leads to Heaven, Hell Or Valhalla!
An angel sings, an eagle soars
And the rain, it falls, falls like a sword
And an angel sings, an eagle soars
And the rain, it falls, falls like a sword
The lightning strikes, the heavens call
And love thrusts, thrusts like a sword
My hate is pure, a bloody thorn
My hate is sharp, sharp like a sword
The future’s dead!
