The Duelist - Sabaton

Son of swordsman, born a warrior

Insubordinate tempting fate

And in the shadow of the rising sun

He would duel with the great

From the master to the temple

Where this boy would come of age

In the forest he would hone his skills

And the trunks would feel his rage

Earth, knowing the small, by way of the great

One goes from shallow to the deep

Water conforms, into the shape

Shape of the vessel, square or round

Fight or die

Immortal Ronin and Samurai

Into battle his blade held high

See your demise, you can see it in his eyes

Will you fight or die

Immortal Ronin and Samurai

Into battle his blade held high

See your demise, you can see it in his eyes

Left his village and his kinsmen

Walked along the path of war

Challenged several times and answered all

Something never seen before

Draw the blade, adopt the stance

It's a swift and deadly dance

And his foes who promised certain doom

Really never had a chance

Fire, matters of war, scale large to small

Careful consideration

Wind, schools of martial arts, strive on your path

Point of view of the straight and true

Fight or die

Immortal Ronin and Samurai

Into battle his blade held high

See your demise, you can see it in his eyes

Will you fight or die

Immortal Ronin and Samurai

Into battle his blade held high

See your demise, you can see it in his eyes

The way, he would follow the way of the warrior

In the school of two swords he would triumph

Away, from the battlefield on to a lonely cave

Where the book of five rings would be written

The void, hard to define, the inner depths

Terms of the surface entryway

Having attained rhythm of war

When the time comes to strike and score

Fight or die

Immortal Ronin and Samurai

Into battle his blade held high

See your demise, you can see it in his eyes

Will you fight or die

Immortal Ronin and Samurai

Into battle his blade held high

See your demise, you can see it in his eyes
