Sword's Song
Battlelore
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
The first chord from the vein of the ore There it all begins The blacksmiths forge will resolve The metal's nature The riddle of steel, hiding the key Are you able to find it? Unlock the chain, the prize you gain... Soul of the sword has spoken Wave it in the air, let it breath This perfect blance, the harmony Shivers on the edge of the steel Tranquillising melody Respect the way how it stands and feels Will it give you a chance? It's not for everyone to see How it sings on a battlefield Faithful mate of the whitest knight The loot of the lowest thief Path of justice, hope for the weak Path of blood for your enemy Two sides of the sword You may think it's nothing but agony When you feel the hate It is the hand that carries the blade Cold steel the warrior's chum It will never deceive you Take a good care of it And you will be rewarded Use it wisely don't be a fool IT could be a burden But when it's time for you to meet the steel Let it dance for you Feel the might Inside of you Raise your blade It's time to fight I heard the sword's song And it sang to me Both the iron, the will Under my control
