Excalibur
In one event, it has been strangely found
Protection and destruction have no link.
This case does stand alone in such a way
Or is it always true, consistently?
Is weaponry without a blocking force
Its own defense, still powerless to raise
A shield of its own, vulnerable to
Whatever tries to break its shining blade?
We find it necessary to create
A tool designed especially for this
Alone. An emblematic shield of sorts
Protecting warrior and, indeed
The sacred armaments he holds would seem
To carry out the task much better than
Its scabbard counterpart. But no, my friend,
Indeed one's intuition dictates thus
But would be wrong. No thing could ever stop
The ultimate destructive power of
A perfect sword, which gleams in the morning sun:
Choose red, or green, or gold…your destiny.
