By the Sword of My Father

By my father's deathbed I sit

With a grim countenance to fit

He's headed now for the Land Beyond

A vengeance and his sword he he left unto me

Father, tell me what you dream

Up there in the sky

Are there mountains like the ones you loved?

Are the valleys of the heavens evergreen?

Do crystalline rivers flow in their midst?

By the sword of my father...

This day avow!

By the sword of my father...

Revenge shall bejewel my crown!

My son take heed

Remember my creed

Hyperborean steel

From the the stone cromlech drawn

Etched with glyphs of power

Draconian, strong!

Let them behold thy scepter of war

A royal flag from enemies torn!

By the sword of my father...

This day I avow!

By the sword of my father...

Revenge shall bejewel my crown!

Leave behind this deathbed of mine

Carve on their hides a warning for all!
