Weight Of The Blade Lyrics

How many years have I done this alone now?

How many wonders have I swindled or bled from their home

While I'm so far removed from my own

There is no way to know

If I cared, and I don't

Yonder fountain, and field of red lightning

No enchantment ornate as my own

Tread over sea, sent to seek, steal and leave

Everything withering in wake of my wave

Wind in my stride

Carries a cloud

Crimson as my eyes

It's not that I don't feel alive

I just feel untouched by the passing of time

All that I know is

This way to behave

Bother and burden

Won't stop me these days

Nothing compares to

The weight of the blade

It glistens like a cascade

Gasps like a lung

Well maybe I sold myself cheap

Or should I be grateful for the journey that was thrust upon me?

It depends where it leads, where it ends

On the state of my sorcery

The way that it's spent

Ever since Ultor, the mountain, my teacher

I've had a fire who yearns for release

And since the bloom, I have reason to assume

All shall wilt, never wait for those weak to the blaze

Destiny calls

Wailing like winter

Both broken, and sharp

So harden your heart

Though old, still a fool

Pray light be my guide

All that I know is

This way to behave

Empathy severed

By the hand of endeavour

With no way to measure

The weight of the blade

It listens in the darkness

It tastes as a tongue

The Mistress, she waits in the den of dawns

I dare not return, but the blade weighs so much

…well, maybe I could…

Oh to be bound by the weight of the blade

So hard to see past the weight of the blade

For every light stolen adds weight to the blade

One-hundred years of my life to the weight of the blade

All that I know is

This way to behave

Empathy severed

By the hand of endeavour

With no way to measure

The weight of the blade

It listens in the long night

It whistles a song like a

Bird, much too heavy to fly away

We've wedded the ground and accepted our fate

Rather than dwell on the things we've lost,

We deal in destruction to the wonders of the world
