To Bear the Sword
When I was little
I always dreamt to carry the blade
And slay the beasts of the wild
Not knowing what that would imply
I could not wait for the days to come
How could I know?
The urge to fight was growing
And was matched by my power
The goal was clear and bright
But still no challenge was in sight
So I took off to proof myself
How could I know?
It's been a while since these stormy days
I can barely remember those times
But what I've seen and the scars I wear
Will forever haunt my mind
To bear the sword on the path of the hero
Is to bear the guilt until the end of time
There is no return, there is no redemption
If you take a soul, you have to pay the price
Through the mountains of fate
I carried my fallen brother
I could not save him, I gave it all
And do you know what I saw?
I watched him die, stricken with horror
There is no honor in death
The days went by and I did what I had to
The only thing I was taught
I've been taking names and I became numb and cruel after all
I kneeled before the eldest gods and asked for salvation
Have they left me?
Or were they just like ghosts wandering the worlds as they please?
Or have I been wandering between the planes all along?
My soul found shelter
In your warm embrace
Is this the answer?
All my longing
And all my grief
Are wiped out
With just one look
With just one touch
I'm rising anew
It's been a while since these stormy days
I can barely remember those times
My wounds will heal and my heart will mend
But those dreams keep me up in the night
To bear the sword on the path of the hero
Is to bear the guilt until the end of time
There is no return, there is no redemption
If you take a soul, you have to pay the price
I always dreamt to carry the blade
And slay the beasts of the wild
Not knowing what that would imply
I could not wait for the days to come
How could I know?
The urge to fight was growing
And was matched by my power
The goal was clear and bright
But still no challenge was in sight
So I took off to proof myself
How could I know?
It's been a while since these stormy days
I can barely remember those times
But what I've seen and the scars I wear
Will forever haunt my mind
To bear the sword on the path of the hero
Is to bear the guilt until the end of time
There is no return, there is no redemption
If you take a soul, you have to pay the price
Through the mountains of fate
I carried my fallen brother
I could not save him, I gave it all
And do you know what I saw?
I watched him die, stricken with horror
There is no honor in death
The days went by and I did what I had to
The only thing I was taught
I've been taking names and I became numb and cruel after all

Or were they just like ghosts wandering the worlds as they please?
Or have I been wandering between the planes all along?

In your warm embrace

All my longing
And all my grief

With just one look
With just one touch

It's been a while since these stormy days
I can barely remember those times
My wounds will heal and my heart will mend
But those dreams keep me up in the night
To bear the sword on the path of the hero
Is to bear the guilt until the end of time
There is no return, there is no redemption
If you take a soul, you have to pay the price
