My Sweet Rapier Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Sweet seventeen, my virgin queen
I saw her on a charcoal mare
I did decide to make her my bride
While I swam in her crystal stare
My peasant love, ancient cliffs above
The wind wrestled in my head
I split the night while my love held tight
On the night when we were wed
I traveled around with the village clown
For some noblemen and royalty
When I returned, I saw our house had burned
And my love hanging from a tree
I swear on my mother′s soul tonight
And on the soul of my true love fair
That I won't sleep until your blood rests on
My Sweet Rapier
As sure as my name I know who to blame
The very one that I will fi nd


He′s a swordsman, skilled, the very one who killed
The truest love of mine
I saw the way he looked at her
On the days of the village fair
He wore a fi chu around his neck
And a black ribbon in his hair
I swear on my father's soul tonight
And on the soul of my true love fair
That I won't sleep until your blood rests on
My Sweet Rapier
I may be overmatched, I know
But the battle is already won
I will fi nd ye, sir, and cut ye down
Before the rising sun
I swear on my mother′s soul tonight
And on the soul of my true love fair
That I won′t sleep until your blood rests on
My Sweet Rapier
