A flashing blade of ancient times
my hands were clenched around its heel
an evil wizard`s spell would leed
my life to bitter endless nights
For as it was cursed to drink the blood
of any human living thing
for once a day or even more -
or it would slay the keeper dead
So I was bound to keep clear of those
I loved for I could never know
when the blade returns to life
and guide my hands to harm a friend
The last words I tell to warn you now
sre not to touch the blade
so it can never drown the blood
from any living man
[Ref.:]</i> The fights were many that I won
but never did I know
Whom my way might cross again
and whom I`ll lose by sword
