Tou Shin ~ Katana
Heart Of Sword
Test the hand
Time to stand
Stand and fight
To set a wrong
Back to right
Thus beaten from the anvil of spirit
From the hammer and the forge
Comes a bright broken shard
A piece struck off my heart
A piece of shattered ice
Steel tempered defiant
Made hardened adamant
A piece of my soul frozen over in time
While reality still ticks and chimes
A shaft of me finally battered free
To release the rest of all of me
From all the binding years
Against the flow of tears
That shall no longer
Wash me off away
In its rain of pain
Now and then
I shall stand
Fighting
Just for
Me
Test the hand
Time to stand
Stand and fight
To set a wrong
Back to right
Thus beaten from the anvil of spirit
From the hammer and the forge
Comes a bright broken shard
A piece struck off my heart
A piece of shattered ice
Steel tempered defiant
Made hardened adamant
A piece of my soul frozen over in time
While reality still ticks and chimes
A shaft of me finally battered free
To release the rest of all of me
From all the binding years
Against the flow of tears
That shall no longer
Wash me off away
In its rain of pain
Now and then
I shall stand
Fighting
Just for
Me

A Broken Token
Monument Of DestructionThat used to be the ivory tower
The Aftermath:
Taken apart what once stood tall
Broken down and allowed to fall
Perfectly fine just would not do
It had to be broken and torn down
It needs to be broken so it can work
[Like your ripped jeans and piercings]
So that was what exactly happened
Now all that is left is a broken shard
A relic of ruin standing all alone
Headstone for the singing dead
Atlas holding up a world of pain
An accusing arrow at the heavens
The last piece that would not fall
The unyielding finger to transgression
My sad and beautiful wretched colossus
