Dance of Blades ft. Koa & SparkleChord Lyrics

Beyond the floating islands and above the rolling sea

A military scout cries out "I've found the pirates!"

And so the warship aims its guns and fires ferociously

And cannon fire explodes in droves as free folk fight for hope

And in the smoke and darkness two warriors meet

Amidst the mist and moonlight and the flurry of their steel

A general lithe and graceful fights a scrappy pirate

Who from an early age was taught in order to survive

She had to violently defend her honor and her tribe

And as they parried every strike they both knew

On guard, pirate filth

You won't find an easy victory here

Look at you, all prim and proper

Do they teach you to fight in that air force of yours or just how to look pretty

A whirl of steel, a clash of blades, their swords locked into place

An even match of guts and skill, they found their equal

And as they fight they realize their similarities

Two hippogriffs, a burning skiff, their spirits both at peace

As resent and hatred begin to fade

Their dance of blades reveals a spark that neither ever knew

A twist in life amidst the strife as smiles deepen

And as they swing and lunge with all their skill on full display

Their eyes betray an interest and a glimmer of rare play

Their respect for skill and spirit did grow

Your form is all wrong

Who taught you to wield a sword

I didn't need anyone to teach me

I learned the hard way

That was a good move

Where'd you learn it

Survival, airman

You learn a thing or two when your life's on the line

General Anemone Silverwing, Sky Kings Air Force
