An Oath in Blood

Beneath the earthen arch held aloft by sword and spear we stand
We twain with dreary blades red with blood rent across the hand
Upon this starless night the gods above us as our witness bear
To ancient rituals by which our fathers once before did swear

An oath in blood is sworn
And through my word is born
A sacrament unto a friend
An oath in blood is sworn
And by the rites performed
Shall carry forth unto the end

We are reborn again; the essence of our oath flows through our veins
And not a single word nor letter ever of our oath shall wane
The promise I shall keep and carry forth with me until my death
The words I speak tonight I hold them true with every living breath

An oath in blood is sworn
And through my word is born
A sacrament unto a friend
An oath in blood is sworn
And by the rites performed
Shall carry forth unto the end

Beneath the earthen arch held aloft by sword and spear we stand
We twain with dreary blades red with blood rent across the hand
The oath in blood I swore I hold upon my honor to defend
That as thy brother I shall upon thy death exact revenge

An oath in blood is sworn
And through my word is born
A sacrament unto a friend
An oath in blood is sworn
And by the rites performed
Shall carry forth unto the end
