Lyrics Sword of Damocles - Judas Priest

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
