In 2007 Epic released a song entitled [Crimson Bow and
Arrow](https://genius.com/Epica-crimson-bow-and-arrow-lyrics) as part of their
EP [Epic Vs Attack on Titan](https://genius.com/albums/Epica/Epica-vs-attack-
on-titan-songs-ep)

The tracks on the EP all relate to, or are inspired by, different aspects of
the Attack on Titan Anime\Manga, this particular song included the line:

> The boy will pick up the black sword

The song relates to Erin and his attitude to fighting the Titans, but I'm
unaware of there being a literal Black Sword in canon. does this refer to the
swords used by the scouts, or is it something figurative, or did I just lose
something in translation?

Are there any references to A\The "Black Sword" in official Attack on Titan source material?
