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 thе shore
Just along the horizon, one hundrеd thousand or more
No fear of dying, no wish for power
Remember the master's 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
Samurai
The joining of weapon and man
Samurai
The joining of weapon and man
Samurai
The joining of weapon and man
