Lyrics[edit | edit source]
I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me, faster and faster, to an early, early grave
And it howls! It howls like hell!
I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade, and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed, screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool
(Black) Blade
(Black) Blade
Forged a billion years ago
(Black) Blade
(Black) Blade
Killing so its power can grow
And grow
Grow!
Grow!
Grow!
Grow!
Grow!
Grow!
It's death from the beginning, 'til the end of time
And I'm the cosmic champion, and I hold a mystic sign
And the whole world's dying, and the burden's mine
And the black sword keeps on killing, 'til the end of time
(Black) Blade
(Black) Blade
Bringing chaos to the world we know
(Black) Blade
(Black) Blade
And it's using me to kill my friends
(Black) Blade
(Black) Blade
Getting stronger, so the world will end
(Black) Blade
(Black) Blade
Forcing my mind to bend and bend
I am the Black Blade
Forged a million, billion years ago
My cosmic soul, it goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the lords of chaos
Waking up the beasts of Hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Hahaha…
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha…
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
You poor fucking humans!
