Liner Notes:

In one of the movies of "Arther", a statement by the king of a people who were rampaging across the land came to my mind. "Leave no one behind you who could ever hold a sword"

Lyrics:

I Have A Sword

(Verse)
When came the ravagers to our island
They left few alive
Any who may someday hold a blade
On their own, they put out their life
I was a wee lad
Barely old enough to run
And I could hear the screams of my family
As for the hills I did run

(Verse)
It’s not shame I hold in my heart
Now a man with arm of steel
I killed a man with a heavy stone
And his armor I now wield
His sword I carry on my back
My families cries still in my ears
For vengeance I live and now ride
My heart calls for blood, not tears

(Chorus)
I have a sword
And blood will come this day
Beached ships on a shore over another ridge
The vengeance will have it’s way
My life is set for one purpose
One goal have I now
To bring the death of all who rode
My loving family down

(Verse)
With an army I ride on an enemy camp
No feeling … no remorse
Hardened shell round an empty heart
This day I taste their blood
And on the shores of my homeland
It will run to sea as a flood

(Chorus)
I have a sword
And blood will come this day
Beached ships on a shore over another ridge
My vengeance will have it’s way
My life is set for one purpose
One goal, one purpose bestowed
To bring the death of all who rode
My loving family down
