The Black Sword

This is the tale of Elric

before he was called womanslayer

before the final collapse of Melnibone

this is the tale of the two

Black Swords

Mighty Elric, mightier sword

Sorcerer and swordman

slayer of kin

Lord of the dying race, king of ruins

Dragon master

Champion of Doom

Ymrrir the Dreaming city

Yrkoon,the hated usurper

Cymoril the beloved

all had fallen

to the fury and unholy power

of the albino prince

and his terrible sword

[chorus]

Stormbringer, black runesword

battle thirsty prince

blood-hungry sword

Stormbringer, sing a song of victory

and as I hold you in my hand

you drink the souls

of all my enemies

my enemies, oh drink the souls

of all my enemies
