No one ever fell in love with the slash of a sword You can slice, dice and tear But there are war-ravaged, pain-stricken voices echoing everywhere And rivers cascading of blood, meat and bone And a pen made a legend because Aristotle was only a philosopher and Alexander was Great So the pen made the sword, swords never made pens And ****** was an eight-year-old choir boy on the road to priesthood And Stalin was the child of abusive alcoholic, kicked out of school But the pen draws scars far deeper then the sword Because words can hurt far better then they heal And words can cut down people in ways the sword can't fathom And you can always stab someone with a pen But you can hardly write a lullaby with a ****** dagger.

Pen and Sword - The Battle of Might
No one ever fell in love with the slash of a sword You can slice, dice and tear But there are war-ravaged, pain-stricken voices echoing everywhere And rivers cascading of blood, meat and bone And a pen made a legend because Aristotle was only a philosopher and Alexander was Great So the pen made the sword, swords never made pens And ****** was an eight-year-old choir boy on the road to priesthood And Stalin was the child of abusive alcoholic, kicked out of school But the pen draws scars far deeper then the sword Because words can hurt far better then they heal And words can cut down people in ways the sword can't fathom And you can always stab someone with a pen But you can hardly write a lullaby with a ****** dagger.
