Killtime Lyrics - Singles - Paradox

[The thinking of the knights and mercenaries as they fought the Cathars, how they were paid for forty days at a time] 

Before the sun goes down they'll scream 

Heretics, cower, our blades are sharp for thee 

We'll put you to the sword or hang you from a tree 

Killtime, bloodlust, no time to pray 

Heretic, voices 

We don't give a damn 

You're all gonna die 

Forty days 

That's all we're paid for 

Forty days 

Longer if you want us to stay 

Forty days 

That's what you paid for our hire 

Forty days 

No more 

Fighting every day in this holy war 

Killtime, bloodshed, let loose the dogs of war 

Your heretic beliefs with which we don't agree 

Our sword thirst to end your day 

Heretics, Hearsay 

Hope your Gods are with you 

Watching as you die 

Forty days 

To destroy the aura around you 

Forty days 

to put an end to your lives 

Forty days 

We're just soldiers for hire 

Forty days 

No more 

War! 

Mercenaries and Knights 

Warriors of the north 

Killtime, bloodlust, you will be no more 

Our sword will set you free from this mockery 

Killtime, crush, our mandate is to slay 

Cathars, vaudois 

Why don't you face the true God 

Give up idolatry 

Forty days 

We'll put you all to the fire 

Forty days 

You'll then just be history 

Forty days 

Perhaps is what you desire 

Forty days 

Of death
