[Verse 1]
I was so tired I could die,
Right there upon that grass?
Where crows would nibble at my skin and feed it to their chicks
life was just a lie
shattering like glass
I'd become a puppet for the devil and his tricks!
[VERY BRIEF DRUM INTERLUDE]
I'd hidden from my sin
The sky was growing dark
The shadows had me trapped
I felt it in my heart
They came at me in legions!
an they tore my mind apart
But then I heard that voice from deep within?
[VERY INTENSE BRIEF Instrumental BUILD]
[Choral & Choir]
((GLORIA, VERITAS!))
((GLORIA!. GLADIUS!))
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep in my soul it revealed itself to me..?
A shining sword, words engraved in its steel!
[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]
And I felt it in my hand
Right there upon that grass?
The clouds would open up and holy light would hit my eyes ((aahh))
This one would be the last
The one final stand
To plunge the devils into the abyss and hear them cry! ((oohh))
[Pre-chorus With Choral& Choir]
Deep in my soul it revealed itself to me..?
A shining sword, words engraved in its steel!
[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]

((GLORIA!))GLORIA!.. VERITAS!.._
((VICTORIA!))VICTORIA!.. GLADIUS!.._
