Samurai

In a country where there were no wars
No castles to defend
The king in all his wisdom
Was so loyal to the end
But peace would never reign for long
To paint the story grey
The mighty son of genghis-khan
Was planning to invade

Those asian soldiers
With awesome faces
They planned on a victory
There's a saying in the east

The sword is your soul
The sword is your soul
Samurai

Every able-bodied man
In the land of the rising sun
And the mighty zen warrior
With a sword in his hand
Waiting for the invasion
Waiting on the shore
Just along the horizon
One-hundred thousand or more
No fear of dying
No wish for power
Remember the masters cry
Put your formless form in flight
Your sword is your soul
Your sword is your soul

Samurai - the joining of weapon and man
Samurai - the joining of weapon and man

Protecting his honour
Perfecting his skill
The way of the warrior
Is the strength of his will
To be one with the universe
Enlightenment to find
On the medieval battleground
Of military mind

Direct and fearless, instinctive action
The pages of history
Seven hundred years of ruling
The sword is your soul
The sword is your soul

Samurai - the joining of weapon and man
Samurai - the joining of weapon and man

Long swords - short swords
Live by the law - live by the sword

The final hero stands alone
He never will give in
The mighty are themselves destroyed
Like dust before the wind

The sword is your soul
The sword is your soul

Samurai - the joining of weapon and man
