I sleep in silence until the day A warrior calls and draws me away My shining body catches the light As I awaken to the coming fight I have no voice yet tales I tell Of ancient kings who rose and fell Through mighty battles I have soared A symbol of honor, feared and adored I have no hands yet help defend I have no heart yet stand by a friend With sharpened edge and courage untold I guard the brave in legends of old What am I that shines so bright A warrior's pride in the darkest fight
