The Blade Itself
Lyrics
The steel itself tempts the man
Gripped in a self-righteous hand
Forged with purpose and a wish to know and understand
The blade itself
Gird yourself with arms and mail
Against the waiting darkness
Protect yourself
You know deep down the blade is all you have
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command
The blade itself
And commit deeds of violence
The lust for power and vengeance and pain
Lives deep inside us
Existence is crippling. It's worse every day
There is no innocence
Searching for something to take it away
The blade itself
Annihilation attack
There can be no holding back
The fate of the weak is determined by this savage rule
At the hands of the cruel
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command
The blade itself
And commit deeds of violence
The lust for power and vengeance and pain
Lives deep inside us
Existence is crippling. It's worse every day
There is no innocence
Searching for something to take it away
The blade itself
The blade screams defiance and whispers a promise of doom
