The Oath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a blade of a sword, I am forged in flames
Fiery hot
Tempered steel, fire-bright to the night I tame
I fear not

[Pre-Chorus]
Now compelled by something that I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
Your servant I am and ever shall I be

[Verse 2]
Through a dream, I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mists
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists

[Pre-Chorus]
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in, and suddenly a man returns

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
Your servant I am and ever shall I be
[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart, and I set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
'Cause I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, "Is this really me?"

[Verse 3]
Like a blade of a sword, I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel, fire-bright to the night I tame
I fear not

[Pre-Chorus]
Now compelled by something that I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I'll ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
Your servant I am and ever shall I be
