lyrics

Stand now as witness:
These things have laid their mark
Hard upon me.
What I have been
And what I am now become:
These things are one.

In the day I looked upon the king of the proud,
Thrice I made invocation --
Those names as the points of my shield.
Twice was this temple cast
Within a stone of its life.
But on the third day
In my Lord I reign.

Though on earth was not his equal,
Who silvered the crown of the deep,
My arm was upheld.
I glory in the blade!
By living word, to lance between flesh and breath,
The proud shields of his neck.
My Lord, I triumph!

Now look upon me, you king of the proud --
My brother, my keeper, my liege.

Witness to witness:
These things shall lay their mark
Hard upon you.
What I have been and
What I am now become:
These things are one.

Look upon me, you king of the proud --
My brother, my keeper, my liege.
How thy countenance fell.
Naked and shieldless, thrice I see the wheel of swords,
And thrice I am returned.

Invert my cross and it will still blaspheme against you;
Well does the Gatekeeper know this.
Impenitent am I,
For long ago my heart was hardened in wyrmfire.

I glory in the blade!
I glory in the blade!
Impenitent,
Impenitent,
I welcome the stroke of grace.
My Lord, I triumph.
