Legend of the Blade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the ash of the old road Buried under stone Lay a sword of moonlit iron Cold and all alone Five kings tried to claim it Their names turned to dust But the hilt held fast in silence Waiting for the just [Pre-Chorus] Then the thunder moved Through the mountain hall And the seal in the dark Began to call [Chorus] Rise, rise, legendary blade Wake the night and break the grave Rise, rise, carry me home Through the fire, through the stone (legendary blade) [Verse 2] I found you by the river Where the black reeds bend Your edge drank the morning And sang like a friend Your runes lit up my shadow Like a crown of flame Now the fear that owned my bloodline Knows my true name [Pre-Chorus] Hear the doors give way Hear the old vows ring When your silver heart Starts waking kings [Chorus] Rise, rise, legendary blade Wake the night and break the grave Rise, rise, carry me home Through the fire, through the stone (legendary blade) [Bridge] Not for gold, not for glory Not for crowns of bone But for every fallen banner And every broken home I will lift you high When the dark comes near Let the last hard blow Teach the world to fear [Final Chorus] Rise, rise, legendary blade Wake the night and break the grave Rise, rise, carry me home Through the fire, through the stone (legendary blade) Rise, rise, legendary blade Shine the dawn on what we save Rise, rise, name the road With the courage we hold (legendary blade)
