lyrics

This is the Metal: it dropp’d from the sky,
A ferrous tear of the Fire-Drake’s eye,
That burned through cloud and seared the soil
and set the furious seas a boil,
That lay in ancient pores of earth,
Til Blacksmith’s brought it to birth,
Thrice-purified in Tubalo’s fire
It suffered the ordeal of the pyre; cast into waters, hissed it’s song,
The starry viper’s iron tongue was tempered on the anvil-stone,
Til radiant as changeless bone,
With whispered charge and wordless spell,
The gramarye of Azazel.
The edge was ground and thus was made,
The narrow road of sharpened blade.
This is the metal: ‘twas shaped by Cain
Who wrought the heavenly Arthame.
