I wrote this song inspired by the people I cross paths with that are legit rock stars. I mean they have talent coming out of their ears and everything they so much as sneeze on turns to gold. As I get to know them more though, it seems they're searching for more in life. It's as if being great only gets them so far and there's a hollowness to each day being just like the one before. The monotony of routine has imprisoned and isolated the warrior. To be honest, my heart burns inside whenever I'm around them knowing all the potential they have coursing through their veins. It moves me to encourage them, speak life, pray, and, well, write this song.
I received a few requests for the lyrics so I figured I'd post them here. From a composition standpoint, the verses are spoken by a narrator, the chorus is the main character, and the bridge is Jesus.

Battle Sword Lyrics
There he was, running full tilt, sword drawn from it’s hilt
Dungeon crawlin, monster brawlin'
He’s well oiled machine, yeah he took down the queen,
Ripped off her wings, now he’s after the king
Yeah he fights like a Valkyrie, crash off the balcony,
Crush all the enemies, one man calvary
Wave after wave, it’s like he was made
to destroy, light it up, bring em down, every pound
Here comes the
Jab, slash, counter, freeze
Leg sweep at the knees
Beat down therapy
Yeah he’s fightin' fire with fire,
Trappin’ and droppin' the wire,
Modified rarest attire,
Climbing up higher and higher
But he is hitting the cap,
The grind is holding him back,
He can’t sustain this attack
Using up all his health packs
And he’s looking for the one thing that’ll keep him coming back
And he doesn’t even notice all the people got his back
Past is chained around his leg and leaving trails in the dust
And the foes he felled back then can track him like a wounded buck
Gimme...
Somethin’ I can hold on to
Somethin’ to make me fight longer
Don’t let this day be
just like yesterday
I’ve battled and I’ve conquered
I just don’t know what I fight for
I can’t wait to finally find when
I get off this stranded island
So he stood there frozen in time like a mime
Locked in thought, couldn’t stop, questioning his everything
Repeatedly rehashing all the tragedy that’s coursing through his veins
The destruction he survived
The behemoth he denied
All the allies that have died
When the battle shifted tide
He better snap to, break through, this day dream, he’s fading, reality escaping
All the while, all around
hordes are closing in, mobs are forming out-
side the door, he can’t take it anymore
With a gasp, now he’s back, trace his tracks, face the facts,
Out numbered, cornered in, low mana, armor running thin
Toss out his last grenade
Set up the barricade
This time there’s no escape
Goin toe-to-toe with fate
Somethings gotta give
I’m not going out like this
I’m gunna burn it to the ground
I’m gunna bring it all down
I refuse to lose, I refuse to lose
So I'm gunna light this fuse
Gimme Somethin’ I can hold on to
Somethin’ to make me fight longer
Don’t let this day be
just like yesterday
I want…
Somethin’ I can hold on to
Somethin’ to make me fight longer
Don’t let this day be
just like yesterday, yeah
I’ve battled and I’ve conquered
I just don’t know what I fight for
I can’t wait to finally find when
I get off this stranded island
BRIDGE
I’ve chiseled warriors out of iron
I’ve hewn glory from the fire
You my friend are Excalibur
A relic of your past
There’s no equal in balance and precision
But here you lie dormant
Reliving every day, sealed in this rock fate
Knights from near and far travel across your path
Everyone is the same, they all bring their strength
but here you remain, impossibly secure, longing desperately for a change
But I can draw you out
Yeah I’m the one you’re waiting for
I come bearing hope
Your days of longing have come to an end
If you want to worry, I only require this one thing...
Give me your heart
Give me your heart
Give me your hand
Give me your hand
You will see just how good I am
I will show you the promised land
Gimme Somethin’ I can hold on to
Somethin’ to make me fight longer
Don’t let this day be
just like yesterday
I want…
Somethin’ I can hold on to
Somethin’ to make me fight longer
Don’t let this day be
just like yesterday, yeah
I’ve battled and I’ve conquered
I just don’t know what I fight for
I can’t wait to finally find when
I get off this stranded island
