WOULD YOU BE A SWORD ? ~ JUBAL

~ FORGED ~


WOULD YOU BE



WILL YOU ALLOW



THE HAND OF THE METAL MAKER



THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN



TO MAKE OF YOU ... A SWORD OF THE LORD ?





IRON MAY SHARPEN IRON



AH BUT THE ONE



WHO SHAPES THE WEAPON



IS THE ONE TO WATCH



HOW IS A BLADE, MADE ?





ELEGANT METAL



IS FIRST CHOSEN



FOR IT'S SUBSTANCE



IT'S QUALITY



MAYBE EVEN YOU



MAYBE EVEN ME



FORGED, IN THE FIRES



OF HIS WORKMANSHIP ...





INTO THE FIRE IT GOES



HEATED UP TO RED HOT



THEN QUICKLY, INTO THE COOL WATER



THEN, TO BE BANGED ON



SHAPED, MOLDED



THEN QUICKLY



BACK INTO THE FIRE



MADE PLIABLE



WORKABLE



BANGED ON AGAIN



THEN INTO THE WATER



FIRE, WATER



HAMMERING



POUNDING



FIRE TO WATER



WATER TO FIRE



WORKING THE STEEL



DOES THIS FEEL ...



LIKE YOUR LIFE ?





THEN WHEN PERFECTED



THEN, WHEN COMPLETED



A BEAUTIFUL, SHARP



SHIMMERING SHAFT



THE HILT, IN THE GRIP



READY FOR THE CHAMPION



TO CUT DEEP



INTO THE HEART OF DARKNESS



READY TO SLAY ANY UGLY DRAGON



TO SLICE INTO THE OMINOUS SNAKE



THERE, IN THE HAND



OF THAT GLORIOUS



SWORDSMAN



THAT WONDROUS WARRIOR



WHO IS MIGHTY IN BATTLE !
