The Sword by Bathory Lyrics

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 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, its powers I feel
I can hardly wait to try its 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 mountains and snow
Behold its sharp beauty. Just look at its shine
This sword was forged in fire and ice
This sword is the backbone of the life that I know
Here among mountains and snow

Now I am ready
To let this old sword sing again
