I have set foot on the first step into heaven, yet wasn't ready to enter it
From death has revenge been resurrected, it's
Time to cut the tie to my past, I have severed it
A Samurai died, and his successor's a revenant
From the best I have descended
Into a legend - ascended
Weapon in hand, I'm unhesistant
When it lands in your neck, I'll split
Your head from the rest of you, an undead has just bested you
Khan, I'll never surrender, but Seppukku - I'll let you do
And you bet I'll be present on the day I can say I watched as your entire empire fell
In my hand is the blade, that I raise in defense as a vital extension of myself
I am one with the blade I wield, and
My emotion - contained, I've shielded
I've not forgotten the bloodline I've lost
Honor the fallen, for honor never falls
The sky grows dark with their arrows
The one emotion that's become scarce - hope
But this fire lights up the night, spare no
Mongol Mongrel, if you wanna fight fair - don't
What's a sword without a master, what's a kingdom built on brittle stilts
If corruption should overcast us justice is a blade, and I'm the hilt
And I know there's a time to save, a time to kill
But a life you take may be replaced with the new life you've built
So does the cost of the blood lost show you worth
Even if it means leavin' a tradition to burn
I am one with the blade I wield, and
My emotion - contained, I've shielded
I've not forgotten the bloodline I've lost
Honor the fallen, for honor never falls
Whose is the house of honor
For I am not its host
I know no code of honor
Cuz I am nothing but its ghost
I am one with the blade I wield, and
My emotion - contained, I've shielded
I've not forgotten the bloodline I've lost
Honor the fallen, for honor never falls
