"The Oath"
-- Paul Stanley
[Rhythm Fig. 1 w/end.1]
[Rhythm Fig. 1 w/end.2]
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end. 1]
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
[Rhythm Fig. 4]
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
[Rhythm Fig. 5]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
[Rhythm Fig. 3]
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end. 1]
Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
[Rhythm Fig. 4]
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns
[Rhythm Fig. 5]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig. 6]
[Rhythm Fig. 7]
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end. 1]
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
[Rhythm Fig. 4]
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
[Rhythm Fig. 5] then [Rhythm Fig. 1 w/end.3] w/[Riff. 1]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
