about

ABOUT THE SONG:
Snowflake Obsidian is my favorite kind of stone. It's believed to have protective powers when one is traveling, so I carry it on my keychain. This song is kind of... that personified? I was going thru some rough shit but I wanted to feel strong. The character of Obsidian Sword is based on a kind of strength I wish I had when walking around in the world.

Also, this song has absolutely nothing to do with Steven Universe.

lyrics

Hear her tracks on the journey down
Down the mountain where the lava flows
Armor shining in the falling snow

Time has whittled her down to this
Cruel erosion has become her bliss
She's the warrior that you don't know

Screaming, ahhh
ahhhh

Volcanic ashes blacken her eyelashes
If you face her slashes then you're
Going down down, going down down
Cut and captured, wearing scars and fractures
She seeks revenge
She holds the obsidian sword

Obsidian sword, cut through it all 'til you can't no more
Obsidian sword, cut through it all 'til you can't no more

Coming closer she yells "you're next!"
Splitting atoms in every breath
She is sharper than you might expect

Watch her shine like the snowflakes do
Facing everything you put her through
Best be running if she's coming for you

Screaming, ahhh
ahhhh

Volcanic ashes blacken her eyelashes
If you face her slashes then you're
Going down down, going down down
Cut and captured, wearing scars and fractures
She seeks revenge
She holds the obsidian sword

Obsidian sword, cut through it all 'til you can't no more
Obsidian sword, cut through it all 'til you can't no more

Obsidian sword, cut through it all 'til you can't no more
Aquamarine eyes, cut to the truth in your web of lies
Bloodstone in her soul, knows what you did and she'll swallow you whole
Keep singing this song, but only in my dreams can I be this strong

Volcanic ashes blacken her eyelashes
If you face her slashes then you're
Going down down, going down down
Cut and captured, wearing scars and fractures
She seeks revenge
She holds the obsidian sword

Ahhh
Ahhh
Ah-yayaaaa
Ah-yayaaaa
