Sword
Forged in Fire: A Tale of Vengeance and Magic
Lyrics
Stranger tell me
Asking a stranger to reveal information
The story behind
Inquiring about the narrative
How my mother died
Seeking details about the death of the speaker's mother
As I was a child
Reference to the speaker's childhood
My father was killed
Describing the death of the speaker's father
In a fight till death
Narrating a deadly fight leading to the father's demise
He gave me this sword
The father passes down a sword to the speaker
With his last breath
The father's final act before dying
This foolish dwarf
Referring to a dwarf with skepticism
It seems so clear
Expressing clarity about the dwarf's incompetence
Can't forge the steel
The dwarf cannot forge steel due to fear
Cause he's full of fear
Attributing the dwarf's failure to fear
Only the one
Only those without fear can forge steel
Who feels no terror
Emphasizing the fearlessness required for forging
Can forge the steel
Reiterating the theme of fearlessness in steel forging
And create it anew
Connecting fearlessness to the creation of steel
Steel by steel
Describing the process of forging with successive blows
The hammer falls
The repetitive striking of a hammer on steel
Shaping me
The shaping of the speaker into a deadly weapon
A deadly sword
Creating a lethal sword with fire and power
With fire and power
Highlighting the potency of the forged weapon
I do well
The speaker performs well in the forging process
I curse it with a magic spell
Cursing the sword with a magical spell
Fire, fire
Invoking fire to enhance the forging process
Blow on the blaze
Encouraging the intensification of the blaze
Smelt the splinters
Melting the fragments of the speaker's steel
Of my steel
Refining the components of the sword
Glorious sword
Praising the completed sword
Now you're fixed in the hilt
The sword is now firmly attached to the hilt
And I spread out
The speaker prepares to use the sword against a dragon
To kill the dragon
The speaker sets out to kill the dragon with the sword
Steel by steel
Repetition of the process of forging with successive blows
The hammer falls
Continuation of the hammer striking steel
Shaping me
The ongoing shaping of the speaker into a deadly weapon
A deadly sword
Creating another lethal sword with fire and hammer
With fire and hammer
The speaker performs well with fire and hammer
I do well
Cursing the new sword with a magical spell
I curse it with a magic spell
Reiteration of placing a curse on the forged weapon
