Lyrics
This sword do I take leather guard the same
I gird myself for battle the right to stake my claim
Sheathing now my weapon all this I prepare
Ride upon winged steed to see the golden weir
Birthright of olympus within this mortal coil
Straining always to attain rightful power and skill
Equine muscles flex beneath driving upwards still
Flying forward moving on simple strength of will
Raising now my blade challenge issued forth
Grant me entrance do this now I am rightfully yours
Birthright of olympus within this mortal coil
Straining always to attain rightful power and skill
You dare demand right of birth you may never enter
A mortal cursed the taint upon you seals you out
If you choose to risk the buffeting winds
And rail against the lightning sharp
Cerberus lies in wait below for those with finite hearts
I will not falter falter from the path
You say I cannot enter yet there must be a way
Only half mortal this taint you see
Gladly would it fall away if olympus welcomed me
So with this sacrifice you offer to pave the shining way
To shed the mortal flesh to let it fall this day
Are you prepared
Take this mortal half burn it all away
Let the god stride forth and take his place this day
Birthright of olympus no longer mortal coil
Now and forevermore my rightful power I wield
