Lex Talionis

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 wraith from clay

He who declaims 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

Fire and tears enlighten 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 wraith from clay

He who declaims 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

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
