Broken Sword

Broken
Jagged and torn
Splintered
Battered and worn
Shattered
Stained with blood
Cracked
Splashed with mud
Forgotten
Hidden from all
Abandoned
None remember the fall
Alone
Deep in a vault
Dust-covered
Whose the fault?
Discovered
Light breaking through
Reclaimed
Taken up anew
Heated
Shaped with blows
Hammered
The iron red-hot glows
Reforged
Pieces joined together
Remade
Hilt re-bound in leather
Sharpened
Blade gleaming cold
Restored
Again the glory of old
Wielded
In battle strong
Victory!
Thus ends the song
