Double Edged
October 23, 2012
I was forged
with the fate of a nation
the heart of a rebellion
the quest for freedom
and the tears of fallen empires.
My hilt
is the heirloom of a family
the skills of a warrior
the promise of a knight
and the prayers of a better tomorrow.
My blade
is the cry for glory
the relic of past heroes
the blood of enemies
and the pathway to Hades
Within my steel
is both hope and fear
both beauty and brutality
It holds the essence of destiny
and the beginning to your demise
