Hate for hate and ruth for ruth eye for eye and tooth for tooth scorn for scorn and smite for smite love for love and guile for guile. He who is without sin he who mantles passion with fear he who turns the other cheek he who drowns wrath with fire War for war and woe for woe blood for blood and blow for blow scorn for scorn and smite for smite love for love and guile for guile. He who to evil resist he who creates wrath from clay he who declares never to judge he who divides seas and skies he who reveals love as an arm he who creates shields by fire he who serves slaves and faints he who builds walls with tears. Chorus: Fire and tears enlightened my world this world dressed in fear awe the emotions of wrath behold the serpent's fear. He who to evil resist he who creates wrath from clay he who declares never to judge he who divides seas and skies he who reveals love as an arm he who creates shields by fire he who serves slaves and faints he who builds walls with tears. Chorus Hate for hate and ruth for ruth eye for eye and tooth for tooth scorn for scorn and smite for smite love for love and guile for guile. War for war and woe for woe blood for blood and blow for blow scorn for scorn and smite for smite love for love and guile for guile.
