What worries the weapon more than peace?
That sheath that seeks to still its story.
When kings grow old and tire of schemes
And children dream no more of glory.
What becomes the warrior
When heroes live only in song?
When there is no one left to conquer
And every battle has been won.
When the wind no longer speaks of steel
And mountains have forgot our name.
When all that's left are memories
Of the fallen, Of the shame.
Worry not though for the blade.
Spare no thought toward the sword,
For peace shall fall to slumber.
War will wake once more.

What worries the weapon more than peace?
That sheath that seeks to still its story.
When kings grow old and tire of schemes
And children dream no more of glory.
What becomes the warrior
When heroes live only in song?
When there is no one left to conquer
And every battle has been won.
When the wind no longer speaks of steel
And mountains have forgot our name.
When all that's left are memories
Of the fallen, Of the shame.
Worry not though for the blade.
Spare no thought toward the sword,
For peace shall fall to slumber.
War will wake once more.
