- Who holds Coinspinner knows good odds
- Whichever move he make
- But the Sword of Chance, to please the gods
- Slips from him like a snake.
- The Sword of Justice balances the pans
- Of right and wrong, and foul and fair.
- Eye for an eye, Doomgiver scans
- The fate of all folk everywhere.
- Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, how d'you slay?
- Reaching for the heart in behind the scales.
- Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, where do you stay?
- In the belly of the giant that my blade impales.
- Farslayer howls across the world
- For thy heart, for thy heart, who hast wronged me!
- Vengeance is his who casts the blade
- Yet he will in the end no triumph see.
- Whose flesh the Sword of Mercy hurts has drawn no breath;
- Whose soul it heals has wandered in the night,
- Has paid the summing of all debts in death
- Has turned to see returning light.
- The Mindsword spun in the dawn's gray light
- And men and demons knelt down before.
- The Mindsword flashed in the midday bright
- Gods joined the dance, and the march to war.
- It spun in the twilight dim as well
- And gods and men marched off to hell.
- I shatter Swords and splinter spears;
- None stands to Shieldbreaker.
- My point's the fount of orphans' tears
- My edge the widowmaker.
- The Sword of Stealth is given to
- One lonely and despised.
- Sightblinder's gifts: his eyes are keen
- His nature is disguised.
- The Tyrant's Blade no blood hath spilled
- But doth the spirit carve
- Soulcutter hath no body killed
- But many left to starve.
- The Sword of Siege struck a hammer's blow
- With a crash, and a smash, and a tumbled wall.
- Stonecutter laid a castle low
- With a groan, and a roar, and a tower's fall.
- Long roads the Sword of Fury makes
- Hard walls it builds around the soft
- The fighter who Townsaver takes
- Can bid farewell to home and croft.
- Who holds Wayfinder finds good roads
- Its master's step is brisk.
- The Sword of Wisdom lightens loads
- But adds unto their risk.
