verse 1 In the shadows a man sits alone The journey was endless the months they passed slow And here by the fire amidst laughter and talk the man with the broken sword watches it all. Man with a broken sword travel worn, weary my mind is afraid but my heart cannot fear thee verse 2 In the shadows deep in my mind the theory of safety the calm of the blind and here on the border of wilderness dark the man with the broken sword lifts up a spark Man with a broken sword enemies gather through the wastes of the north The dark lords ride to battle. verse 3 In the valley the river runs slow and cold as the knife blade that wounded me so and the fear and the darkness implacable foes reach out their cold hands to me I will not go Back to the shadowlands let the flood take them white manes on wild waves bring forth fury and mayhem. Dim lies the way ahead stones are my pillow but low though I lie tonight light brings the horizon.
