[00:13.48]I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
[00:19.60]This sword here at my side don’t act the way it should
[00:25.29]Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
[00:30.86]Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
[00:36.58]And it howls! It howls like hell!

[00:43.96]I’m told it’s my duty to fight against the law
[00:49.21]That wizardry’s my trade, and I was born to wade through gore
[00:55.01]I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
[01:00.70]I wish it’d picked another to be its killing tool

[01:07.09]Black Blade, Black Blade
[01:12.16]Forged a billion years ago
[01:16.11]Black Blade, Black Blade
[01:20.21]Killing so its power can grow and grow
[01:27.33]Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow!

[03:45.26]It’s death from the beginning till the end of time
[03:51.56]And I’m the cosmic champion and I hold the mystic sign
[03:57.39]And the whole world’s dying, and the burden’s mine
[04:03.69]And the black sword keeps on killing ‘til the end of time

[04:09.75]Black Blade, Black Blade
[04:15.96]Bringing chaos to the world we know
[04:20.36]Black Blade, Black Blade
[04:24.50]And it’s using me to kill my friends
[04:29.11]Black Blade, Black Blade
[04:34.02]Getting stronger so the world will end
[04:37.88]Black Blade, Black Blade
[04:42.77]Forcing my mind to bend and bend

[05:10.49]I am the Black Blade
[05:16.60]Forged a million billion years ago
[05:23.71]My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity
[05:34.48]Carving out destiny
[05:40.65]Bringing in the Lords of Chaos
[05:43.96]Bringing up the Beasts of Hades
[05:47.89]Sucking out the souls of heroes
[05:51.55]Laying waste to knights and ladies
[05:56.09]My master is my slave
[06:01.26]Ha ha ha ha ha ha…
[06:22.68]You poor fucking humans
