Oathbreakers lyrics
Chorus:
Cursed Oathbreakers, your honor’s in pawn
And worthless the vows you have gone,
Justice shall see you where others have gone,
Delivered to those you betrayed !
These are the signs of a mage that’s forsworn–
The True Gifts gone dead in his hand,
Magic corrupted and discipline torn,
Shifting heart like shifting sand;
Swift to allow any passion to run,
Given to hatred and rage .
Give him wide berth and his company shun–
For darkness devours the Dark Mage
These are the signs of a traitor in war–
Wealth from no visible source,
Shunning old comrades he welcomed before,
Holding not steady course
If you uncover the one who’d betray,
Heed not his words nor his pen
Give him no second chance – drive him away–
False once will prove false again
These are the signs of a treacherous priest–
Pleasure in anyone’s pain,
Abused or degrading of man or of beast,
Duty as second to gain,
Preaching belief but with none of his own,
Twisting all that he controls
Fear him and never face him alone,
He corrupts innocent souls
These are the sings of the king honor-broke–
Pride coming first over all,
Treading the backs and the necks of his folk
That he alone might stand tall,
Giving himself to desire that are base,
Tyrannous, cunning and cruel
Bring him down – set someone else in his place
Such man are not fit to rule
Cursed Oathbreakers, your honor’s in pawn
And worthless the vows you have gone,
Justice shall see you where others have gone,
Delivered to those you betrayed !
These are the signs of a mage that’s forsworn–
The True Gifts gone dead in his hand,
Magic corrupted and discipline torn,
Shifting heart like shifting sand;
Swift to allow any passion to run,
Given to hatred and rage .
Give him wide berth and his company shun–
For darkness devours the Dark Mage
These are the signs of a traitor in war–
Wealth from no visible source,
Shunning old comrades he welcomed before,
Holding not steady course
If you uncover the one who’d betray,
Heed not his words nor his pen
Give him no second chance – drive him away–
False once will prove false again
These are the signs of a treacherous priest–
Pleasure in anyone’s pain,
Abused or degrading of man or of beast,
Duty as second to gain,
Preaching belief but with none of his own,
Twisting all that he controls
Fear him and never face him alone,
He corrupts innocent souls
These are the sings of the king honor-broke–
Pride coming first over all,
Treading the backs and the necks of his folk
That he alone might stand tall,
Giving himself to desire that are base,
Tyrannous, cunning and cruel
Bring him down – set someone else in his place
Such man are not fit to rule

Anonymous wrote on 8th Jun 2019, 21:39h: I spot an error in this transcription lyrics: the second line should end with "made" not "gone". The song itself is beautifully written, as expected of Mercedes lackey. Present are clever rhymes throughout, a good amount of substance in a condensed dose, and little of the lyrical repetition that that is so prevalent in songs these days. Oath breakers isn't as narrative focussed as some of her other songs, but it certainly doesn't lack gravity, and is very poetic and quotable. It's a good tone setter. |
