"The Oath" lyrics - ARCH ENEMY

ARCH ENEMY
"The Oath"

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flames
Fiery hot
Tempered steel, fire bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus:]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns

[Chorus:]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge:]
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flames
Fiery hot
Tempered steel, fire bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus:]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
