The sword

Live by the sword die by the sword.

 

Is there glory in war?

 

Will there be peace?

 

The battle lines are drawn. 

 

There was a fabled city-

 

Under siege..

 

Had no military power its people on their knees...

 

One wise man, as the story goes...

 

Saved that city by his wisdom...

 

But that man no one knows. 

 

So hear, we are..

 

The blood still pours

 

The earth will not hide it

 

The eagles soar. 

 

Where is the wise?

 

What can they say?

 

The theatre of life does it have a new play?

 

Is it a scene from long ago?

 

Repeating, repeating..

 

Character the same..

 

A slight of hand, a chance to reign..

 

There's nothing new under the sun:

 

Everything old is new again;

 

The stage is set-

 

Can all be won?

 

It's all innocent..

 

Have some fun!

 

Evil puts on her disguise:

 

The people love it!

 

Watch it rise.

 

 Loud and proud..

 

What will be?

 

It is His doing...

 

Watch and see.
