Leftfield – Swords Lyrics 11 years ago
The main symbols are water, swords, and fire.

Not to sound like a religious fanatic, but in John 7:38, Jesus said "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" And in Matthew 10:34, Jesus said that He did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

So, the few and simple lyrics of "Swords" reveals the author has found redemption.
