a late discovery

it is not who you think that wields the blade

nor any force you have that wins the prize

so now you tremble and now you're afraid


 

so many colours all this day pervade

the countryside and trouble our surmise

it is not who you think that wields the blade


 

to cut through centuries and shred the braid

of all our recollection killing lies

so now you tremble and now you're afraid


 

that what was fair and clean will be unmade

but no one knows what good word to advise

it is not who you think that wields the blade


 

nor any of the ones who could downgrade

your expectations and crush your disguise

so now you tremble and now you're afraid


 

and want to argue or else want to trade

some paltry goods for sight of those bright eyes

it is not who you think that wields the blade

so now you tremble and now you're afraid
