Lex Talionis Lyrics - Rotting Christ

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 

[CHORUS] 

Fire and tears enlighten my world 

This world dressed in fear 

Awe the emotions of wrath 

Behold the serpent's fear
