Soulslicer

[Intro] Crowd roar in my ears Steel sings in my hand Ancient runes ignite It hungers again [Verse 1] They said this steel ends every war One swing The sky splits Silence falls But every heart it cuts in half It takes a soul And keeps them all [background choir Low and ominous] I feel them whisper in the hilt A million curses in my grip My name already turning ash While fire crawls along the edge [Chorus] Soulslicer One cut for the crown One cut for the grave Soulslicer You win every fight But you never get saved Soulslicer Every fallen foe feeds the storm in the blade Soulslicer I trade my soul away So the world can be saved [Verse 2] King on his knees The courts in fear They want the beast But not the cost They paint me saint They call me brave They won’t look down where my shadow’s lost [choir rises behind the vocal] I swing and mountains learn to kneel I swing and tyrants cough up dust But with each body on the field I feel my veins turn iron and rust [Chorus] Soulslicer One cut for the crown One cut for the grave Soulslicer You win every fight But you never get saved Soulslicer Every fallen foe feeds the storm in the blade Soulslicer I trade my soul away So the world can be saved [Bridge] [low vocal register] Hear them In the metal Every scream I ever made Feel them In the handle All my mercy burned away [full voice Halftime stomp] I am the scabbard I am the chain I am the martyr Feeding your blade You want a hero? You want the end? You want your savior? You lose your friend [growled ad-lib] Take it all… [guitar solo] [Chorus] Soulslicer One cut for the crown One cut for the grave Soulslicer You win every fight But you never get saved Soulslicer Every fallen foe feeds the storm in the blade Soulslicer I trade my soul away So the world can be saved
