Warlock's Oath
Words and music by Alexander James Adams © 1 October 2010

I swear to do what’s right for me I swear to keep my spirit free To not hold true what feels like lies To not be bound by others ties I’ll know deception through and through I’ll find it myself and you I’ll do what’s right ‘gainst what is writ And not just go along with it I will be what I need to be To tread the dark when none can see To listen to the winds of change The words of war I will exchange I swear to risk all bonds of Clan If they forbid free will in Man I'll stand against my Chieftain tall If what is sworn endangers all BROKEN WORD, TRAITOROUS SIGN HAVE YOU HEARD THE NAME THAT’S MINE? I will use any power I need To challenge any Holy Rede Oath or promise I will break If Higher Truth is at the stake I pledge to nothing held too tight For what was wrong may now be right I vow to never bind or tie For as things change, then so must I We swear our promises with all our heart But when things change they tend to fall apart Sometimes with Truth and Honour One cannot have both Sometimes there’s call to take a Warlock’s Oath BROKEN WORD, TRAITEROUS SIGN NOW YOU’VE HEARD THE NAME THAT’S MINE! TRUTH OR HONOUR: YOU CAN’T HAVE BOTH SO ON THESE GROUNDS I CALL THE WARLOCK’S OATH! WITHIN THESE BOUNDS I SPEAK THE WARLOCK’S OATH! FREE WILL RESOUNDS WITHIN THE WARLOCK’S OATH!
