[Verse 1] In fields and forests I find only soil Hallowed halls and silent stacks leave me bored Absent the elves, the fire tossing mage Clad in cloth, not trusty steel and swords [bridge] But I smell change on the horizon Even though far, far away Towards it I am ever riding Ahead are my glory days! [Chorus] Waiting for the day I begin my quest Courage and passion burning in my breast The siren song beckons and cannot be ignored A life of ease you can choose But for me it will not do I take the path... Of the sword! [Verse 2] A unicorn waits to be mounted Manticores, goblins somewhere lay in wait I'll view visions fancy and terrible A hero's vaunted story has become my fate [bridge] I grow close to the horizon Not anymore far, far away Towards it I am gladly riding Ahead are my glory days! [Chorus] Waiting for the day I begin my quest Courage and passion burning in my breast The siren song beckons and cannot be ignored A life of ease you can choose But for me it will not do I take the path... Of the sword! [harp solo] [viol solo] [drum solo] [Verse 3] By my arm will come coin and fortune My blade will know blood, and me victory My name shall be the stuff of legends Exceeded only by future history! [bridge] I grow close to the horizon Not anymore far, far away Towards it I am gladly riding Ahead are my glory days! [Chorus] Waiting for the day I begin my quest Courage and passion burning in my breast The siren song beckons and cannot be ignored A life of ease you can choose But for me it will not do I take the path... Of the sword! [final chorus] Waiting for the day I begin my quest Courage and passion burning in my breast The siren song beckons and cannot be ignored A life of ease you can choose But for me it will not do I take the path... Of the sword!
