BLOOD SWEAT TOIL AND TEARS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

fire in the dark of night
the queen took out her cup
she poured the bitter wine in it
and made us drink it up

the generals sat around and sang
the map was on the floor
the battle raging out on the plain
between the rich and poor

but here inside the castle walls
listen to the rain
every empire has a fall
before rise again

the king sat on a golden throne
the room was filled with smoke
and he was left there all alone
a knife was in his throat

blood sweat toil and tears
through 10,000 years
whether far or near
you need have no fear

you need have no fear

the lion passant guardian
ever on a shield
the eagle perched upon a pole
says we shall not yield

but we have won a thousand times
and lost a thousand more
cause history repeats itself
that what it lives for

blood sweat toil and tears
through 10,000 years
whether far or near
you need have no fear

no fear
no fear
no fear
no fear
