I Am the Sword
Motörhead Lyrics

Murder I am, you know it was me
I am responsible for the death, and you know it was me who did it.

I was the one that you didn't see
You didn't notice me, but I was the one who had done the crime.

I was the cut, down to your bone
I was the one who caused you the severe injury that went through your bone.

I put you there under that stone
I was responsible for your death and buried you under that stone.

I, I am the blade
I am the sharp edge of the weapon.

I am the dream of the brave
I am something that people are scared of and see in their nightmares.

I, I am the knife
I am the sharp weapon that people use to hurt each other.

I bring grief to your wife
I bring sorrow and pain to your significant other.

I, I am the sword
I am a powerful and dangerous weapon.

I am the word of the Lord
I am the messenger of the divine authority.

Do what you will, I bring you the edge
No matter what you do, I will be there to bring you the sharp edge of the weapon.

I am the one to sever your head
I am the one who can cut your head off.

I cut so deep, I can cut straight
I can cut so deep that I can go straight through you.

It all depends on the moves you make
The extent of my damage will depend on how you react to my attack.

I am the promise unmade
I am a promise of danger that you didn't even know existed.

I bring death to your life
I bring an end to your life.

I, I am the axe
I am an axe, a weapon used to chop wood or cut down enemies.

To stop you dead in your tracks
To stop you from continuing your actions immediately.

I bring the fear of the Lord
I am a weapon that people fear and associate with the divine authority.

Centuries pass, dust in the wind
As time passes, people and their accomplishments become forgotten.

I shall remain, shining in sin
I will always exist, even if it's as a symbol of violence and wrongdoing.

The metal I am, the iron you feel
I am a weapon made of metal, and the sharpness and danger of it is felt when someone gets injured.

The song of the dead, the chorus of steel
The events of the deceased people that have been caused by me and my counterparts resonate through my metal body.

I break the oath that you made
I am the reason that people break promises or change their minds.

I am the blow in the face
I am the violent and forceful blow to someone's face.

To cut down heroes like rats
I can take down even the most powerful people, just like how people can kill rats easily.

I do the work of the Lord
I am seen as an instrument of punishment or divine punishment, from which the Lord's work is fulfilled.
