The Oath

(альбом: Music From The Elder - 1981)

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel, fire-bright to the night I tame
I fear not

Now compelled by something that I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks 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 mists
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

Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and I 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 flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel, fire-bright to the night I tame
I fear not

Now compelled by something that I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
