[Verse 1]
In the shadows, I did lie,
Beneath the starless sky,
Where whispers of the darkness,
Fed on every sigh.
Life was but a fleeting dream,
Breaking like a stream,
I was but a marionette,
Caught in evil's scheme.
[VERY BRIEF DRUM INTERLUDE]
I hid away my deepest fears,
As night consumed the light,
The phantoms closed around me,
I felt their endless might.
They came with furious anger,
And tore my soul apart,
But then a voice, a beacon,
Rose within my heart.
[VERY INTENSE BRIEF Instrumental BUILD]
[Choral & Choir]
((GLORIA, VERITAS!))
((GLORIA!. GLADIUS!))
[Pre-Chorus]
From the depths, it called to me,
A blade of truth, shining bright and free.
[Chorus]
THIS SWORD! WAS MADE FOR BATTLE! ((BATTLE!))
LET DEMONS! FEAR THIS METAL! ((LET THEM FEAR!))
THIS SWORD! WILL NEVER SHATTER ((NEVER!))
THE DEMONS! FEAR THIS METAL! ((HIC!, GLADIUS!))
[Instrumental With Choir & Choral]

[Drum Solo]
[Verse 2]
In my grasp, it firmly lay,
Beneath the dawning light,
The heavens split asunder,
The day overcame the night.
This was my final stand,
Against the darkened land,
To cast the fiends to shadows,
And see the light expand.
[Pre-Chorus With Choral & Choir]
From the depths, it called to me,
A blade of truth, shining bright and free.
[Chorus]
THIS SWORD! WAS MADE FOR BATTLE
((HIC!, GLADIUS!))
LET DEMONS! FEAR THIS METAL
((VERITAS!))
THIS SWORD! WILL NEVER SHATTER
((AETERNITAS!))
THE DEMONS! FEAR THIS METAL
[Post-Chorus]
[Outro]
((GLORIA!))GLORIA!.. VERITAS!.._
((VICTORIA!))VICTORIA!.. GLADIUS!.._
((GLORIA!))GLORIA!.. VERITAS!.._
((VERITAS!))HIC!.. GLADIUS!.._
