Ensheath

[Verse 1]
All you would show to working men
Is your crooked crescent lips
Their limbs and their throats just hang by threads
Wrapped around your fingertips

[Chorus]
I raise my sword as a shield
Harden my soul into steel
Yes, my sword may shatter
And explode like daggers
But off of me they’ll ricochet
Right back at you like pouring rain

[Verse 2]
Oh, you trap a thousand nameless pawns
Without cages, without chains
The ones who we lost from your wars we fought
Were all puppets in your game

[Bridge]
Ah
(I raise my sword)
(Harden my soul)
Ah
(I raise my sword)

[Chorus]
I raise my sword as a shield
Harden my soul into steel
Yes, my sword may shatter
And explodе like daggers
But off of me thеy’ll ricochet
Right back at you like pouring

[Verse 3]
Reign from the iron fists for life
Is a burden we can’t lift
I once had the fight of a radiant knight
Before I learned that justice may never exist

[Bridge]
Is it all for naught?
Is there use for fighting on?

[Chorus]
I raise my sword as a shield
Harden my soul into steel
Yes, my sword may shatter
And explode like daggers
But off of me they’ll ricochet
Right back at you like pouring rain
