Dance of the Swords

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Skullkruncher13] I thought that I fell in battle a martyr Not left for dead and dishonored But when I was resurrected, unarmed I wasn't a wolf without hunger Now, I'll never settle for any katana Unless it is deadlier, sharper Because my guarded posture hardly falters Got one arm, but I'm all the stronger With death, I cannot be bothered From it, I have never been any farther Equip an effective prosthetic and slaughter Anyone who thought I'm katana fodder Dragonrot is spreading already And every cloudy day's only getting darker But the thought of revenge is enough to get up From this alter and start to conquer All of feudal Japan, who's gonna stand A chance against me? You can pretend As I steady my weapon and prove to your clan A fight to the death is a beautiful dance My foes don't know me I've faced and embraced the gallows Wanna get a hold of a shinobi? You're basically chasing shadows A master of stealth I have been dubbed Lather myself in a geyser of blood Mortality's well behind me, I'm shunned From dying, life is kind of my drug Swallow a gourd, I gotta follow my lord And if I can't get him back, gonna fall on my sword But my defiant corpse rises, wanting more Less alive, but stronger than I was before [Chorus: FabvL & Skullkruncher13] I get lost in the dance of the sword But when I'm not in God's favor Life and death strike a magical chord A lesson learned from my failure This cannot be the end Deep inside of my mind, I am writin' revenge Now your blood is the ink And my blade is the pen [Verse 2: FabvL] You fear the reaper, I'd snap his spine, I'm an addict, no Shinobi art is unmastered, faster than any blow The mist of ravens evaporating through every foe Been into the depths of hell, demon energy, let it flow Life is nothing but a dark haze Broken, shattered but my heart stays I might slit a monks throat, laugh until he croaks, I am in a dark place Tell the gentle blade to simmer down Resurrected, I won't let you drown Ashina castle to the sunken valley Here to rally, shuriken into their crowns Finishing everybody in my path I'll make it rain blood Faster than anybody, but my past Is masked by all the ashes and the graves dug Grapple to battle, shackled to eternity Purposely, flash into the main flood Showing no mercy, parry adversely Throwing an ogre straight into the mud, yuh Shadows always die twice, death is gripping like a vice Deadly butterfly that's passing by, chilling to the bone like ice Give me the energy, I am the entity Slay with honor and respect Prey on my enemies, this is my destiny Grab the devil by the neck, yuh [Bridge: FabvL, FabvL & Skullkruncher13] The wolf's inside and hunger's coursing through my veins Revitalize the beast inside before I die With honor, I'm walking a line completely faded The fearful devoted, will never save me With honor, I'm walking a line completely faded The fearful devoted, will never save me [Chorus: FabvL & Skullkruncher13] I get lost in the dance of the sword But when I'm not in God's favor Life and death strike a magical chord A lesson learned from my failure This cannot be the end Deep inside of my mind, I am writin' revenge Now your blood is the ink And my blade is the pen
