Blunted Edge, Twisted Roads Lyrics

In the old free days, my heart was iron

My steps were steel

A sharp blade in my hand

A straight line to where the enemies kneel

I craved the clash, the sound of purpose

The fire that burned within

But now the lines are twisted

And I don't know where to begin

The sword that once defined me

Lies dull against the tide

The roads I swore were endless

Now curve and split, nowhere to guide

I hold the hilt

But it feels colder than the battles I've survived

And the paths that once were righteous

Now mock the man who's still alive

Blunted edge, twisted roads

The weight of years and all they erode

The fire once raging now smolders low

Blunted edge, twisted roads

I once believed in the purity of an enemy's defeat

Now I sit and wonder if I'm the one who's incomplete

The days of black and white

Have blurred into these shades of grey

And the path I thought was straight

Now bends a thousand ways

The blade I polished daily is just a shadow in my grip

Once a warrior, now a drifter, lost on this broken ship

The echoes of the past remind me of who I used to be

But the roads ahead are tangled, and I've lost the map to me

Blunted edge, twisted roads

The weight of years and all they erode

The fire once raging now smolders low

Blunted edge, twisted roads

I keep walking

Though the miles grind my feet to the bone

Searching for a reason in the silence

Walking alone

The sword was never useless

It's the man who lost his cause

Now I face the mirror

Counting every scar and flaw

Blunted edge, twisted roads

A man without a purpose, carrying heavy loads

The sharpness of yesterday now dulled by time's cruel blows

Blunted edge, twisted roads

Blunted edge, twisted roads

A man without a purpose, carrying heavy loads

The sharpness of yesterday now dulled by time's cruel blows

Blunted edge, twisted roads
