The Emperor In His War-Room (Ii) The Room lyrics

Song information

Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator
Album: H To He, Who Am The Only One

Lyrics

(Ii) the room

Live by sword and you shall die so
All your power shall come to nought
Every life you take is part of your own
Death, not power, is what you've bought

Cringing in your room as the outriders of doom step
On your threshold;
Begging for your life as the impartial knife sinks in your
Screaming flesh ..
Without malice, merely taking murder's toll
You must pay the price of hate, and that price is
Your soul ...

Live in peace or die forever in your war-room
