The Sword Woman

Red haired spawn of the devil

Eyes burn fierce, they smoulder

Thou shalt not become his slave

Slit his throat in his blood I will bathe

Cold fury turn me brittle as steel

Ride through a ribbon of starlight

Walled by black forest trees

From a life of solitude, I flee

I sell my sword to the highest bidder

To ride with my brethren

With shining steel by my side

Crush the traitors and revel in their cries!

Heart beats quick with strange longing

Live as I please and die as God wills

Eyes dance with reckless madness

Trade drudgery for wandering and violence

I sell my sword to the highest bidder

To ride with my brethren

With shining steel by my side

Crush the traitors and revel in their cries!

The pounding war drums call me endlessly

To roads where armoured captains ride!

With banners flowing, crimson dyed

To never be swine's bride

Forever, you will be

You will be denied!

My sisters bend above their looms

And gnaw their moldy crumbs

But I ride forth in silk and steel

To follow the phantom drums
