The Warrior

When it began he was strong
But the road has been so long
Years have passed; age has come
Now he’s old and grey and done
One last trial, lift the blade
One good death a legend made
And his reputation saved
It’s death by the sword he craves
You have come the trial begins
If you’re victorious he wins
Test his guard find a way in
He will not surrender.

He stands alone, the old grey one
He’ll get it done.

The time has come to test
The strength of his beliefs
And when he fights he only seeks release
The blade it bites
A legend that goes on and on, forever more.

Come face your fate face his steel
A dance of blades it seems unreal
Muscles burn, sweat it flows,
With each cut, exhaustion grows.
One mistake; now he bleeds
Will he get the death he needs?
End it now; plant the seed
He will be immortal.

The time has come to test
The strength of his beliefs
And when he fights he only seeks release.
The blade it bites
A legend that goes on and on, forever more
The warrior.

A lifetime of violence has but one end
Death his only friend
No glory in silence; he lived by the sword
He’ll die by the sword
By the sword
He lived by the sword and he’ll die by the sword.

The time has come to test
The strength of his beliefs
And when he fights he only seeks release.
The blade it bites
A legend that lives on and on, forever more
I said the time has come to test
The strength of his beliefs
And when he fights no mercy no release
The blade it bites
A legend that goes on and on, forever more
That goes on and on, forever more
That goes on and on, forever more
The warrior.
