Samael - Shadow Of The Sword lyrics

Listen! This is a true story, based on reality A ma** of frenzy, a poison sold as remedy They tell you knowledge is a curse but ignorance ain't bliss They tell you love one another while waging war for peace Delusion, fraud and deception The foundation of religion Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man? Trading life with d**h, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword Middle age in the 21st century Struggling to survive modernity Trapped in a time of obscurantism Where minds rely on archaism Arrogance, wealth and violence The trinity of monotheism Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man? Trading life with d**h, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword Is it that holy, tell me, to decide to be nothing more than a shadow of a man? Trading life with d**h, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword Arrogance, wealth and violence The trinity of monotheism Arrogance, wealth and violence The trinity of monotheism Is it that holy to decide to be nothing but a shadow of a man? Trading life with d**h, mixing lies with hope and living in the shadow of the sword
