MUSIC FROM "The Elder" (1981)

THE OATH - Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, Tony Powers
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot

Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not

Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
The servant, I am and ever shall I be

Through a dream I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist

I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists

Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in then suddenly a man returns

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
The servant, I am and ever shall I be

[Solo]

I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and I set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot

Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not

Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
The servant, I am and ever shall I be
