The Starheart Blade

[Verse 1] They found it in the ash A sword of living fire Pulled from the star’s own heart Cold in the holder’s hand It burned through iron doors It sang through broken vows A blade that knew its name Before it knew your face [Pre-Chorus] Who will lift it high? Who can stand that light? If your hands shake now It will read your soul [Chorus] Who shall wield the legend-maker? Who shall carry the flame? What terror gets its ending? What wrong gets called by name? Take the path of the sword’s heart Or let it turn to black Who shall wield the legend-maker? Who brings the kingdom back? [Verse 2] The king with gold on his tongue The thief with blood on her sleeve The child from the border road The priest who lost belief A plague in the river town A beast in the mountain fog A tyrant counting bones In a hall of carved black logs [Pre-Chorus] Who will lift it high? Who can stand that light? If you feed it rage It will learn to bite [Chorus] Who shall wield the legend-maker? Who shall carry the flame? What terror gets its ending? What wrong gets called by name? Take the path of the sword’s heart Or let it turn to black Who shall wield the legend-maker? Who brings the kingdom back? [Bridge] It asks for mercy first It asks for truth as well A hand can heal the wound Or open up the hell So choose before the dawn Before the banners rise The blade is just a door The heart decides [Final Chorus] Who shall wield the legend-maker? Who shall carry the flame? What terror gets its ending? What wrong gets called by name? Take the path of the sword’s heart Or let it turn to black Who shall wield the legend-maker? Who brings the kingdom back? [Outro] Who shall wield it? Who shall wield it? The star still waits tonight
