The ode of the Unwounded Blade “Tourniquet”

In the shadows of the stellar I was conceived,
The womb, the mother earth nourished me.
The crimson light shimmered on the Blade,
The only one “Tourniquet” stood besides me.

In the dunes of this wretched land He preached,
And through the day dawn till the dusk He fathered my soul,
Across the seas and the oceans gallantly we crusaded,
And when the night descended together we kissed our fate.

The thick gore in my veins and the glint of my incisive Blade,
Together from the sojourns of the blasphemy we defended.
The vessels of many Orcus (Greek God of the Underworld), the Steel savored for me,
And the Blade even forfeited himself for the treaty of peace.

Once standing on the fringes of my realm,
I found the mortals clattering in their own ways.
The wounds of their fray razed many graves,
The augur of my and my Blade was destined.

Seeing this,
Through the veil of mist and the foreign shore,
We together lined in the battle of righteousness.
Undaunted by the armor of the Undead (corpses and the cannibals),
We pierced them down till their decay.

Still, 
Together we are sailing against the raging sea.
And chanting the same runes for those who ruin this land.
Till the day,
Shadows of the fiend lay heavy on this Mother earth
I and my Unwounded Blade would come tumbling, as her loyal sons

To travel within words, always leaves me expectant and throughly excited to the point of maddness. I like the way you phrase your meaning with intimate stops, as if, taking a breath with words, a great read, well done.
