The Blade Was Never Holy is a dark fantasy song about the quiet machinery behind heroic myths.
This is not a song about glory or monsters.
It’s about orders that don’t make sense, legends that outlive their truth, and roads that keep filling up with people sent to fix problems that were never theirs.
Inspired by grounded fantasy storytelling, medieval ballads, and cinematic atmosphere, this track follows a nameless messenger sent north for a blade that no longer matters — except to those who need the story to keep turning.
Perfect for:
• Dark fantasy & low fantasy fans
• Story-driven music
• Writing, reading, and late-night listening
• Those who prefer truth over legend
Dark fantasy • Cinematic folk • Story-driven music

LYRICS — The Story Was a Lie
[Verse 1]
They sent him north to find the blade
The one the king's grandfather lost in debt
He asked what happens if it's gone for good
They said walk until you find it
[Verse 2]
The map they gave him had no scale
Just circles drawn around the places no one returned from
He asked a farmer at the border
The farmer said turn back while your boots still fit
[Verse 3]
He met a merchant selling rope and bread
The merchant said the beast's been dead for thirty years
But the road itself will take your coat and teeth
Men don't die from monsters anymore
[Verse 4]
He wrote a letter to his mother
Said the kingdom I'm defending doesn't feed its own
The sword they want sits in a rich man's hall
I saw it through the window yesterday
[Verse 5]
They'll send another when I don't come back
Some boy who believes the songs they sing at harvest
He'll walk the same frozen tracks I did
And wonder why the mission made no sense
[Verse 6]
The blade's not holy and it never was
Just steel that someone hung a story on
But the wheel keeps turning out these marching orders
And the road fills up with fools like me
