**Verse 1:**
My soul resides where my sword lies,
Flowing like reeds in the woodwind's sighs,
Rich, deep, sweet, and strong,
Like the river's water, it carries on.
**Chorus:**
Deep cuts ruin the rock,
Wearing it down like time on the clock,
The flame burns those who defy,
Undeniably strong, like oak and sky.
**Verse 2:**
Years have passed, and it's become clear,
My soul protects all I hold dear,
Strong as the oak, and eel that wraps the steel,
In the heart of battle, my spirit heals.
**Chorus:**
Deep cuts ruin the rock,
Wearing it down like time on the clock,
The flame burns those who defy,
Undeniably strong, like oak and sky.
**Bridge:**
Through the trials and the tears,
Through the battles and the fears,
My soul stands guard, unwavering,
For all I love, forever protecting.
**Chorus:**
Deep cuts ruin the rock,
Wearing it down like time on the clock,
The flame burns those who defy,
Undeniably strong, like oak and sky.
**Outro:**
My soul resides where my sword lies,
Flowing like reeds in the woodwind's sighs,
Rich, deep, sweet, and strong,
Like the river's water, it carries on.
