[Verse 1]
He was a warrior beside himself
His body bore its scars
His soul basked in its glory
Clouds shrouded anger and pain
And dust hovered over sweat and blood

[Chorus]
He was always foraging
Conflicted always
Foraging
Everything and everyone around him died
The heat consumed the man inside
But the struggle still remained

[Bridge]
I don't fit into this ending quite yet
The mountain kept growin', and it kept me alive
Every night I sleep only to awake
Hand on the hilt, bound by fate

[Verse 2]
Shielded himself
An aggressor
He was an aggressor
And a martyr protectin' no one
Left for years in uninhabitable sorrow
Left years ago
Walked the distant plain

[Chorus]
He was a savior
A knot drippin’ in his fate
The heat consumed the strength that was left
But he kept wieldin’
Pickin' up his sword
And he kept wieldin’
All chorus and no demise

[Bridge]
Oh, I think I won’t be able to come
My body's wakin’ up
Something’s shining through the dark
How won’t I act surprised
Once you step inside

[Outro]
The brand still bleeds
The black sun never fades
And even if the night swallows me whole
I’ll keep wieldin’
I’ll keep wieldin’
