Sword of Shadows

A shadow sweeps across the sand
Soft laughter fills the air
Giant waves crash land
Against shores of despair

Winds pick up and choke your breath
Darkness tries stealing the light
The cold drops down to death
You prepare to fight

Your sword is just a blade of fire
Your shield a circle of flame
Don’t you stop don’t you tire
Just focus on your aim

Mist creeps through dim light
Drums beat in the distance
Something isn’t right
The presence seems omniscient

It will draw you in and tear you apart
Don’t forget how to fight
Remember to protect your heart
Remember how to hide

You know the perfect time to run
You know just when to fall
This is what you’ve become
A fighter for them all
