Ensheath

All you would show to working men

Is your crooked crescent lips

Their limbs and their throats just hang by threads

Wrapped around your fingertips

I raise my sword as a shield

Harden my soul into steel

Yes, my sword may shatter

And explode like daggers

But off of me they'll ricochet right

Back at you like pouring rain

Oh, you would trap a thousand nameless pawns

Without cages, without chains

The ones who we lost from your wars we fought

Were all puppets in your game

I raise my sword as a shield

Harden my soul into steel

Yes, my sword may shatter

And explode like daggers

But off of me they'll ricochet right

Back at you like pouring rain

Reign from the iron fists for life

Is a burden we can't lift

I once had the fight of a radiant knight

Before I learned that justice may never exist

Is it all for naught?

Is it use for fighting on?

I raise my sword as a shield

Harden my soul into steel

Yes, my sword may shatter

And explode like daggers

But off of me they'll ricochet right

Back at you like pouring rain
