Lyrics for Song: Black Blade
Lyrics for Album: Cultosaurus Erectus
I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side donÂ’t act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls! It howls like hell!
IÂ’m told itÂ’s my duty to fight against the law
That wizardryÂ’s my trade, and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish itÂ’d picked another to be its killing tool
Black Blade, Black Blade
Forged a billion years ago
Black Blade, Black Blade
Killing so its power can grow and grow
Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow!
ItÂ’s death from the beginning Â’til the end of time
And IÂ’m the cosmic champion and I hold the mystic sign
And the whole worldÂ’s dying, and the burdenÂ’s mine
And the black sword keeps on killing Â’til the end of time
Black Blade, Black Blade
Bringing chaos to the world we know
Black Blade, Black Blade
And itÂ’s using me to kill my friends
Black Blade, Black Blade
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black Blade, Black Blade
Forcing my mind to bend and bend
[Voice]
I am the Black Blade
Forged a million billion years ago
My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the Lords of Chaos
Bringing up the Beasts of Hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
You poor fucking humans

Released during a period of intense commercial success, the song features the band's iconic lead vocals and a driving rhythm section that became a staple of their live performances. As part of the 'Cult' catalog, the recording reflects the band's evolution toward a heavier, more aggressive sound while maintaining their characteristic theatrical flair.
