Be wise, be brave, says the father to his son   Be alert, be strong, never bow before anyone   Never compromise our ideals before a nations scorn   Remember my son be on guard   It's always calm before the storm         Be bold, be daring, never fear going in for the kill   Be smart, be cunning, live by your elders will   Just remember you're free never to be anyones slave   For our laws and ideas you'll take with you to the grave         Ancient principles of the past are still alive today   Amidst changes and imposed laws we've always found a way   I pass to you the power and wisdom my elders passed on to me   Your heart beats now for your fathers and for your family tree         Blood, honor, loyalty   Blood, honor, loyalty   Blood, honor, loyalty   Blood, honor, loyalty         If you live by the sword, you die by the sword   That's what separates the boys from the men   You're bound by honor, sworn by loyalty   Your family, your race you defend   The world is made up of beggars and thieves,   Peasants, kings, nobles, and lords   Judge not a man by the wealth that he wields   But by the power of his sword   One can't judge a mans character   By how many tales he has sung   When the truth lies in his actions   And not the work of his tongue         Blood, honor, loyalty   Blood, honor, loyalty   Blood, honor, loyalty   Blood, honor, loyalty
