The Blade

The blade falls, and another will be gone
A solution for all the angry
The ending for some who did not do wrong

Whatever happens cannot be undone
All thanks to the revolutionary
The blade falls, and another will be gone

The ideas of fear and death will daunt
Those who are innocent/beg for mercy
The ending for some who did not do wrong

Authority has been reduced to none
And in the chaos it's all just crazy
The blade falls, and another will be gone

The terrible deeds that will have been done
As a result of this machinery
The ending for some who did not do wrong

All of its operations are history
Recalled as the machine devilry
The blade falls, and another will be gone
The ending for some who did not do wrong
