We met an old man out in the marsh He was blind and bent from all those years spent in the dark We said: "Old Man, grab your sword and your mead, it is not too late to choose your own destiny" The vision grew behind his eyes We watched his flesh strengthen As he stepped into the sunlight; A warrior restored in purpose and might Like the kings of old A new tale will be told Raise your sword Raise your spear Banish the shadows pouring poison in your ears Raise your sword Have no fear Drive away the demons harrowing your dreams Raise your sword, We'll get through this night together! Face whatever the dawn may heel Step into sunlight without a fear
