STRONGER THAN HEROS

I touch my sword and my arms grow strong,
When my foe's in sight, I can do no wrong,
I then stride forth to the raging fight,
And I hack and hew with all my might.

Stronger than heros, am I,
Fiercer than demons, am I,
Swifter than Mercury are the mighty blows I swing there;
Badder than berserks, am I,
Killer of cripples, am I,
Raper and looter, burner of towns am I you see.

And when the battle joy invades my heart
And I go forth to maim and slay, then

Stronger than heros, am I,
Fiercer than demons, am I,
Mortification, suffering and death bring I to thee.
