In a land of hope guts and pain
Where the leader was a man insane
Whose battlecry was: Die for your land
And king
Even the priests were blind and they
Said to the crowd follow your king to
The end and he'll be proud
And the people were blind and
Believed and sung die with your
Sword
Blood, Sweat and Tears

Than the war came near. The soldiers
Came clear they would die on the
Battlefield they felt fear
And the priests were blind and they
Said to the crowd follow your king to
The end and he'll be proud
But the enemy was a strong tremendous
And cried
Die by my sword
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Die by my sword
Blood, Sweat and Tears

The king got mat and the warriors
Said, destroy destroy destroy
And they went on first to his son
Down the gallows-pole
Justice you better take care

They raped his wife and took her life
Blood, Sweat and Tears
They caught the king hear the
Warriors sing
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears

They might just take your life
Justice you better take care
They took his son and they went on
Down the gallows-pole
Justice you better take care

They raped his wife and took her life
Blood, Sweat and Tears
They caught the king hear the
Warriors sing

Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears
