SHADOW
OF THE BLADE
Available on "Sunset Ride" Shiny and cold its’ point marks a new grave Imperial Empire wants to enslave Advancing dark armies driven by the insane World’s living now my friend, ‘neath the shadow of the blade Bell jar above waiting to descend Dangerous dark road, is there a light at the end? Need a higher judge now to issue a stay For all of us under the shadow of the blade Bathe in the River, purify your heart Bless every child, keep us from falling apart Thunder and lightning, the devil’s been paid To pull the rug out from under us, in the shadow of the blade So come together now, not a second to waste Angels with wings brush the smoke away Raise my fist to the sky, hell with come what may Shine white light in the face of the shadow of the blade Bad men everywhere, so good people take your places Let’s raise up the roof and unmask all the faces Of the shallow little kings hiding in the corners where they play Time to get out from under the shadow of the blade Everyday people, the young and the old With kind and gentle hearts, bright and beautiful souls Underneath the devil’s whip of the twisted and afraid Who let others do their dirty work ‘neath the shadow of the blade Light a fire and make a road between you and your God Love yourself and your giving with divine staff and rod Hold tight and get together, time for the move to be made Sabre of light pierce the blackness ‘neath the shadow of the blade In the early morning when the first light is true Let it give you strength to carry through Darkness trying to break up the light of the day Power of love chase away the shadow of the blade Power of love chase away the shadow of the blade © 2003, Don Michael Sampson, Wind In the Trees Music, BMI |
