Serve no one, blame no one, awaiting the fall
Shaped by refusal, this sign means all
Fear no one, tame no one
For you know of the wound
Restored to youth by rebellion

Ask no one, crush no one, each sign means grief
Each sign means murder, contempt and relief
Serve no one, blame no one, awaiting the fall
Shaped by refusal, this sign means all

Hide yourself in mourning – in countries far
Among the snake-mouthed mothers of snow
Hide yourself in mourning – on oceans wide
14 blades, 400 blows

Serve no one, blame no one, awaiting the fall
Shaped by refusal, this sign means all
Fear no one, tame no one
For you know of the wound
Restored to youth by rebellion

Ask no one, crush no one, each sign means grief
Each sign means murder, contempt and relief
Serve no one, blame no one, awaiting the fall
To be safe, to be sound and to be assured
I eat on and I sleep and I know we will meet
On another day, on a quiet road
On a safer shore
Serve no one, blame no one
Fear no one, tame no one
Awaiting the fall, no gods, no laws
So I eat on and I sleep on
And I know we will meet on
Another day, on a quiet road, on a safer shore
Serve no one, blame no one, awaiting the fall
This sign means you, this sign means all

Die by the ax – in a bed of ashes
Die by the ax – in the fields of snow
Die by the ax – the magic wand
Die by the ax – from dark to dawn

Die by the ax – a negation denied
Die by the ax – forever tied
Die by the ax – to a broken dream
Die by the ax – to memories unseen

Die by the ax – acid and sun
Die by the ax – sun and steel
Die by the ax – sign and seal
Die by the ax – no quarter given

Die by the ax – a negation denied
Die by the ax – forever tied
Die by the ax – to a broken dream
Die by the ax – to memories unseen

Die by the ax – in a bed of ashes
Die by the ax – in the fields of snow
Die by the ax – the magic wand
Die by the ax – from dark to dawn

Die by the ax – a negation denied
Die by the ax – forever tied
Die by the ax – to a broken dream
Die by the ax – to memories unseen
