"Practice Blades" - Lyrics

Every night, while Half Elf makes them all a meal

Timmund takes his blade and Martin out into a field

Says “You’ve got your Daddy’s dagger. If you want that to matter, then you’ve gotta learn how to use it.”

Every night, Timmund shows a few techniques

Riposte, parry and then how to block an enemy

“You’d rather entertain but this will keep you safer. Said you wanna learn, now prove it.

There’s a time for singing a time for laughing now…

It’s time to practice blades

You’ve gotta swing this way, that way and then the other

Time to practice blades

Training’s hard but come on little brother

If you ever wanna see progress be made

Then I think it’s safe to say

It’s time to practice

Blades (x4)”

Agility, is Martin’s greatest strength he’s found

Now he’s learning how to duck and dodge and weave around

Timmund keeps on laughin’

It’s gettin’ hard to catch him

Martin’s got a good things going

Every night when Martin lays his head down on the pillow

As they travel, he’s rehearsing how to battle in his head

Honestly he’d rather be rehearsing a performance

Or just writing out some poetry or melodies instead

“There’s a time for singing a time for laughing now…

It’s time to practice blades

You’ve gotta swing this way, that way and then the other

Time to practice blades

Training’s hard but come on little brother

If you ever wanna see progress be made

Then I think it’s safe to say

It’s time to practice

Blades (x4)

You’re gettin’ pretty good now

You’re makin’ me so proud

You’re gettin’ pretty good now

It’s time to practice blades

You’ve gotta swing this way, that way and then the other

Time to practice blades

Training’s hard but come on little brother

If you ever wanna see progress be made

Then I think it’s safe to say

It’s time to practice

Blades (x4)

You’re gettin’ pretty good now”

(HEY!)
