The creak of an iron hinge
A cold dark shape within
Held in a sheath so plain
A long slender blade
It has its own free will
And it uses me to kill
Steel wrapped in skin
Let the struggle begin
New moon, bind my soul
White hot, the steel was etched with fire
Spirit blade, made my own
I call you Need out of my desire
Place my hand upon the hilt
No filigree or guilt
Spirit-riding blade
To guide me on my way
This blade will change my life
I'll make no one a wife
With the power to heal my wounds
Beneath the waiting moon
New moon, bind my soul
White hot, the steel was etched with fire
Spirit blade made my own
I call you Need out of my desire
The creak of an iron hinge
A cold dark shape within
Held in a sheath so plain
A long slender blade
This blade will change my life
I'll make no one a wife
With the power to heal all wounds
Beneath the waiting moon
New moon, bind my soul
White hot, the steel was etched with fire
Spirit blade, made my own
I call you Need out of my desire
A cold dark shape within
Held in a sheath so plain
A long slender blade
It has its own free will
And it uses me to kill
Steel wrapped in skin
Let the struggle begin
New moon, bind my soul
White hot, the steel was etched with fire
Spirit blade, made my own
I call you Need out of my desire
Place my hand upon the hilt
No filigree or guilt
Spirit-riding blade
To guide me on my way
This blade will change my life
I'll make no one a wife
With the power to heal my wounds
Beneath the waiting moon
New moon, bind my soul
White hot, the steel was etched with fire
Spirit blade made my own
I call you Need out of my desire
The creak of an iron hinge
A cold dark shape within
Held in a sheath so plain
A long slender blade
This blade will change my life
I'll make no one a wife
With the power to heal all wounds
Beneath the waiting moon
New moon, bind my soul
White hot, the steel was etched with fire
Spirit blade, made my own
I call you Need out of my desire
