Lyrics Emilie Autumn

Emilie Autumn

By the Sword

"Days of old"

I tell my restless mind

Searching mountains

Fields

And meadows green

What is it

My heart can hope to find

All that I long for

I have never seen

Tales of glory written in the dust

Tapestries of deepest purple gold

Legends carved in stone

Tell me I must

Journey through the mist

And bitter cold

But in this brotherhood

I still believe

And for the ones we've lost

My soul will grieve

Yet through the world alone I wander

For I know somewhere

I will find my brothers

By the sword

I swear

In my memory

Awakening

Like a dream too sweet

To cast away

Shadows of the past begin to sing

Calling out to me

In their gallant way

Come away with us

Brother in arms

Through the seas of silver

Fields of gold

Join us as we battle those who harm

And fight with valour as

In days of old

But in this brotherhood

I still believe

And for the ones we've lost

My soul will grieve

Yet through the world alone I wander

For I know somewhere

I will find my brothers

By the sword

I swear

Seeking in the corners of the earth

My companions

I have never known

Blindly running forth

Is honor worth

Endless hours of silence spent

Alone?

But in this brotherhood

I still believe

And for the ones we've lost

My soul will grieve

Yet through the world alone I wander

For I know somewhere

I will find my brothers

By the sword

I swear

Rescue damsels fine

And maidens fair

Free the noble

Who have done no wrong

Though it seems the world

May little care

Some are left that to

The Round belong

But in this brotherhood

We still believe

(I still believe)

And for the ones we've lost

Our souls will grieve

(My soul will grieve)

Yet through the world alone we wander

For we know somewhere

We will find our brothers

By the sword we swear

By the sword I swear

I will find my brothers

I will find my sisters

I will find my brothers

I will find my sisters

By the sword I swear
