The Sword

This sword of steel that I hold in my hand
Ore of this mountain. A sword of this land
Made for a king when the elders were young
To guard us and to guide us in an age since long gone.

A sword to protect the peace in troubled times
A sword made to battle and to take a life.

This sword is the backbone of the life that I know
Here among the mountains and snow.

This sword will be one with me. Body and soul
All of me will be delivering each blow
Slung on my back. Oh it's powers I feel
I can hardly wait to try it's steel.

A sword to protect the peace in troubled times
A sword made to battle and to take a life.

This sword is the backbone of the life that I know
Here among the mountains and snow.

Behold it's sharp beauty. Just look at it's shine
This sword was forged in fire and ice.

This sword is the backbone of the life that I know
Here among the mountains and snow.

Now I am ready
To let this old sword sing again.
