Protectors of the realm A living horror for all the weak Denying gold and riches It's honor and glory they seek Their minds won't be mislead by love nor hate To kill is an art performed by the blade The art of war Living for the sword The art of war Where honor's the only reward Severing your head While your body's rotting on the fields Shame's all to fear The brave and the bold need no shields They battle one on one - To win or to die Fame for all eternity - No one can decry The art of war Living for the sword The art of war Where honor's the only reward The art of war Living for the sword The art of war Where honor's the only reward
