Judas Priest Sword of Damocles song lyrics

Will you take the dare if it was ever placed

There's danger to challenge the throne

Deceivers will rise and weave their web of stealth

Can you face them standing alone

When men lead by words that are false as they preach

Fatality waits in the wings

Surrounded by fools behind walls that are breached

Beware if the jester that sings

Stand tall rise up stay strong fighting your enemies

Truth will find its reward

If you live and die by the sword

The whispers can't hide when the tongues are let loose

Then hiding the truth is absurd

A stab in the back or taste of the noose

Is when action speaks louder than words

Stand tall rise up stay strong fighting your enemies

Truth will find its reward

If you live and die by the sword

Wield the spear of light

Guard it with your might

Sword of damocles - sword of damocles

Stand tall rise up stay strong fighting your enemies

Truth will find its reward

If you live and die by the sword
