Started With a Blade

It all started with a blade
To be given for protection 
Under the sky that began to fade 
Not to go in the wrong direction 

To be given for protection
On the day of may
Not to go in the wrong direction 
Still decided to go astray 

On the day of may
She took what wasn't hers
Still decided to go astray
Drank till everything was a blur

She took what wasn't hers
Under the sky that began to fade
Drank till everything was a blur
It all started with a blade
