[Fast Guitar Intro] [Verse I] Beneath the stone, beneath the years, Where oaths still breathe and time still fears, It rests in silence, cold and sealed, A truth no crown has ever seen. No call of gold, no thirst for fame, No blood-soaked hands may speak its name, For power sleeps where pride must fade, And only then the blade is laid. [Pre-Chorus] It does not shine for those who seek, It does not bow to strong or weak, It waits for hearts that will not break, When all they love is bound to stakes. [Chorus] The sleeping blade will rise again When will is steel and fear is slain, It wakes for those who stand alone, And carry weight not meant to own. No throne, no praise, no promised crown, Just truth that cuts and will not bow— The hand that dares to bear the pain Will wake to see, the sleeping blade. [Short Instrumental Interlude] [Verse II] Through shattered halls and fallen signs, The echoes test the blood and spine, Each step a vow, each breath a cost, For what is found is something lost. It does not ask for spotless souls, But scars that prove a chosen road, To lift it is to understand: The blade commands the one who stands. [Pre-Chorus] No songs of glory guide the way, No light descends to make you stay, Only the weight of what you know— Once drawn, there is no turning home. [Chorus] The sleeping blade will rise again When hope is carved from broken men, It wakes where courage meets despair, And mercy learns to cut the air. No throne, no praise, no promised crown, Just truth that stands and will not bow— The hand that dares to bear the pain Will wake to see, the sleeping blade. [Bridge] Let kingdoms burn, let legends fade, Steel will remember what we made For every age that ends in flame, The blade still knows the worthy name. [Final Chorus] The sleeping blade will rise again When mortal hands accept the end, It wakes for those who still remain, When hope is heavier than chains. No throne, no praise, no promised crown, Just truth that cuts and will not bow— The world will know your chosen pain The day you wake, the sleeping blade! [End]
