Hatebreed - When the Blade Drops

Chains forged and worn like a willful captive Link by link as all life is passing Self-imposed rusted iron dread No consolation overhead Sharpened steel gleams - choice is made The edge cuts clean - drop the blade The sand is down to its final grain With every crown comes the guillotine This one sin you can't undo When the blade drops your world is split in two Hearts get flatlined when the grip is released Beneath the harshest light where all is seen Dishonor, disgrace and I'll tell you what else The blade will drop no matter how much you beg for help Sharpened steel gleams - choice is made The edge cuts clean - drop the blade The sand is down to its final grain With every crown comes the guillotine This one sin you can't undo When the blade drops your world is split in two The sand is down to its final grain With every crown comes the guillotine There's nothing you can do to stop it Drop the blade There's nothing you can do to stop it Drop the blade There's nothing you can do to stop it Drop it
