I’ll fashion you a coat of armor
Of clothes that I no longer wear
And I’ll wrap it ‘round your arms
So no man can do you harm
And if one does I’ll kill him like a bear
I will brew you an elixir
Steep the truest words I know
Once swallowed you will glean
What people really mean
And I will cut the liars in the throat
I will fire you a weapon
Metaled by the sharpened pain
Blade in hand you’ll slay
The demons in your way
And I will brand their bodies with our name
I swear by the God and cloudless sky
I will protect you till I die
