I live in a leather sheath
Wait for the hand to let me breathe
I taste the salt of a sweaty palm
Before the storm breaks through the calm
Cold steel soul in a heavy hand
Slicing through the muddy land
Swing me high and let it fly
Underneath a summer sky
I feel the clash of the iron shield
The red grass stains the open field
I bite the bone and I cut the lace
A sudden flash in a frantic chase
Cold steel soul in a heavy hand
Slicing through the muddy land
Swing me high and let it fly
Underneath a summer sky
I see the knights in their golden plate
They march along to a heavy fate
One wrong move and a gap appears
I bring the end to their sudden fears
Cold steel soul in a heavy hand
Slicing through the muddy land
Swing me high and let it fly
Underneath a summer sky
Dull the edge with a piece of stone
I am a king on a jagged throne
No one speaks when the metal rings
Listen to how the battle sings
Now I lay in the castle dirt
Far from the heat and the bloody hurt
I dream of the grip and the heavy weight
While the moon opens up the gate
Cold steel soul in a heavy hand
Slicing through the muddy land
Swing me high and let it fly
Underneath a summer sky
Just a blade in the rain
Feel the joy and the pain
(Cold steel soul)
Keep it sharp now
