Samurai!      In a time long ago, when the sword was your soul   and the sun turned to gold and the day turned to night,   A man stands alone, knowing he has the right   And the power of life over all he surveys   With his sword in his hand, he rules all the land   Even fools understand, he lives just to fight   A man rich in pride, no-one dares to defy   Don't stare in his eyes, 'cuz he is the samurai      He bows his dead and cries   "By this sword, I will live to die!"   His eyes are ablaze as he screams out his name   He lifts his sword to the rising sun   Sun hits the steel as he's shielding his eyes   He rules with the blade, it will drive him insane   Death in life is his only way   Blood stains the land as they heed his commands   He'll fight to the death, when he makes his last stand   The time will come when they claim his crown   He'll be cut down 'cuz he's only a man   But until that day, he will rule all this land      Samurai!   By this sword, you must live or die      You first killed so long ago   The way the warrior learns to fight   Can't you feel your life's blood draining away?   Has he the power to foresee   Know the future, what's gone before   Can't you see he's getting stronger, samurai?      Samurai!
