Let Swords Be Drawn

by Dan   Aug 4, 2007


The dark stone
Howling wind
Approaching battle
Boxing us in
Power and riches
Death and glory
Courage and heroics
A chilling story
Let swords be drawn
To banish the darkness
Upon battlements
In keeps
In the highest abodes
May your mind never wander
And your sword stay sharp
For in war
You must answer
Your destinys call
Men led by man
Man led by men
Bowman and mages
Rise up and again
To fight evil powers
Cleanse the dark land
Fight through the fear
Hold your own ground
Liege-lords and kings
Princesses fair
Knights with their helms
And their steely glare
Speed and raw talent
When wielding the blade
Dexterity and charisma
Come forth from hidden glades
Mens blood on your hands
A burden to bear
But to return to your maiden
Her long flowing hair
War is for heroes
War is for fools
War is for those with nothing to lose
Fight for freedom
Fight for a right
Fight for a women
To hold close at night
