The Blade Cuts Both Ways

No cut can be made from a rusty blade.

No blade can sever a noble endeavor.

No great divide from a loss of pride,

Your character shines forever and ever.

No peace of mind with an axe to grind.

No one to blame for personal shame.

No place to turn for a failure to learn,

History echoes and calls out your name.
