The Bearer of the Black Sword (The Chronicles of the Black Sword - The End of an Era Part I)

The runes are singing the truth aloud, their riddle is now clear

I'm just a pawn in the hands of a fate, finally revealed

I stare deep inside my soul to find the reasons why

But for all these years I always knew that

I was born to fight

All I've loved I've lost

Left with no one to share the bitter cost

King of a race that ruled the world

Doomed to suffer and bring the final war

Stormbringer Ruler

Lord Elric, Dragon Lord, Prince of the Dreaming City

Stormbringer, his runesword, forged in burning hellfire

Albino dictator, last king of the Dragon Isle

Commander of dragons, I reigned with pride

'til I saw my Fate

In visions that haunt me at night

Dreams of a time soon to come

I bear the Stealer of Souls

[Chorus]

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword,

- Stormbringer ruler - Lord Elric

Riding all over the world in search for the signs

With fear they call me the White Wolf with crimson eyes

A sword that will shine with my bone white face

in the moonlight

Bounded by hellforged chains, I am one with the sword

Mighty Stormbringer

Give me your power

Give me strength

As you take more souls

The runes are now silent, I know what must be done

To sound the Horn of Fate and let a new age rise

I must keep on fighting to keep the Cosmic Balance

For Chaos, for Law but in my dreams

I just want to be free

Free of all cosmic designs

Free of all sorrow and fears

Free of the Stealer of Souls but

[Chorus]

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword, Lord Elric

I'm the Bearer of the Black Sword,

- Stormbringer ruler - Lord Elric
