Like a Sword - Sol Invictus

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!
