Steel & Iron

Gleams and burn on flesh so tender

Weigh and give flight to hollow souls and passions

Hold fast the steel and bone

Never faltering nor failing

Bend and dent at the force of many blows

Give but not break beneath the waves

Let blood burn and soul rend the breath of hollow men

Of iron will and steel resolve

Slicing flesh and breaking bone

Let sorrows rein and the wails fill the air

A blade cast against the dark

A shield against the sorrow

Armor against the cold and bitter

Let it be a broken day and hollow soul
