By The Sword Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

Days of old, I tell my restless mind 

Searching mountains, fields 

And meadows green 

What is it my heart can hope to find? 

All I long for I have never seen 

Tales of glory written in the dust 

Tapestries of deepest purple gold 

Legends carved in stone tell me I must 

Journey through the mist and bitter cold 

Seeking in the corners of the earth 

My companions I have never known 

Blindly running forth, is honor worth 

Endless hours of silence spent alone? 

But in this brotherhood I still believe 

And for the ones we've lost my soul will grieve 

Yet through the world alone I wander for I know somewhere 

I will find my brothers, by the sword I swear 

In my memory awakening 

Like a dream too sweet to cast away 

Shadows of the past begin to sing 

Calling out to me in their gallant way 

Come away with us brother in arms 

Through the seas of silver, fields of gold 

Join us as we battle those who harm 

And fight with valor as in days of old 

But in this brotherhood I still believe 

And for the ones we've lost my soul will grieve 

Yet through the world alone I wander for I know somewhere 

I will find my brothers, by the sword I swear 

Seeking in the corners of the earth 

My companions I have never known 

Blindly running forth, is honor worth 

Endless hours of silence spent alone? 

But in this brotherhood I still believe 

And for the ones we've lost my soul will grieve 

Yet through the world alone I wander for I know somewhere 

I will find my brothers, by the sword I swear 

Rescue damsels fine and maidens fair 

Free the noble who have done no wrong 

Though it seems the world may little care 

Some are left that to the round belong 

But in this brotherhood we still believe 

And for the ones we've lost our souls will grieve 

Yet through the world alone we wander for we know somewhere 

We will find our brothers, by the sword we swear 

By the sword I swear 

I will find my brothers, I will find my sisters 

I will find my brothers, I will find my sisters 

By the sword I swear
