Here I stain this field red
Mark it with death.
My moves are vivacious
My dances, agile
My strength is the steel
That none may cut through.
Here I sculpt the shape
Of pale corpses
Whose bodies now stiff
And souls long forgotten
For without honor
They had no right amongst the living.
Here I am
As true as an artist
You’re worthless to me
For I am the painter of blades
Fear me now
My blade is my brush
Here I am worshipped
Where fear lives stronger than love.
I stand higher than lords
I live past the clouds;
It is here I am powerful
Proud and strong
Here on this battlefield
My name shall live on forever
Because here
I am hero.
