This sword has slashed and slain good folk And hot coals have caressed And with this instrument, have I lain My soul to bear; my core to rest... Itβs sure to harm and falter With fricative formations always ready Even near the altar My muscles tensed, my thoughts unsteady But this sword can also heal Can soothe like salve a haggard heart So I will climb and I will kneel And try once more to hone my art
