The Blade

TITLE: THE BLADE [INTRO] (Grinding steel) (Hammer striking iron) Azazel... You taught the hands... Before you taught the heart. (Drop) [VERSE 1] Fire in the furnace... Iron in the flame... A gift became a weapon... Now nobody's the same. Azazel... You forged the steel... Men learned how to conquer... Forgot how to heal. One blade... Became a thousand more. Kings built their kingdoms... Standing on the poor. [PRE-CHORUS] Every hand... Holds a choice. Every weapon... Finds a voice. Will it defend... Or destroy? [CHORUS] AZAZEL! I know your name! You taught the sword... But you couldn't teach restraint! Iron ain't evil... The heart decides the war! Every blade remembers... What it was forged for! [VERSE 2] Armor on the body... Hatred in the chest... The battlefield outside... Started in the flesh. You promised power... You delivered pain... Every empire drinking... From the bloodstained rain. Question every reason... Question every throne... If heaven never crowned it... Leave that crown alone. [BREAKDOWN] (Half-time) Steel... Fire... Power... Choice... The hammer shapes the iron... The heart... Shapes the man. [FINAL CHORUS] AZAZEL! You forged the blade! YESHUA! He bore the nails! One weapon conquered kingdoms... One cross conquered death! [OUTRO] The sword may win... For a moment... Love... Wins forever.
