Blue Oyster Cult - Black Blade

I have this feeling
that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side
don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master,
but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early,
early grave And it howls! It howls like hell!

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade
and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover,
not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool
Black Blade, Black Blade
Forged a billion years ago
Black Blade, Black Blade
Killing so its power can grow

It's death from the beginning to the end of time
And I'm the cosmic champion
and I hold a mystic sign
And the whole world's dying
and the burden's mine
And the black sword keeps on killing '
til the end of time
Black Blade, Black Blade
Bringing chaos to the world we know
Black Blade, Black Blade
And it's using me to kill my friends
Black Blade, Black Blade
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black Blade, Black Blade
Forcing my mind to bend and bend

I am the Black Blade
Forged a million billion years ago
My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the Lords of Chaos
Bringing up the Beasts of Hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You poor fucking humans
