Lyrics:

You killed your first man at 13, Killer instinct, animal supreme, By 16 you had learned to fight The way of the warrior, you took it as your right.

Chorus

Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel, rolling on and on

Through earth and water, fire and wind, You came at last-nothing was the end, Make a cut by fire and stones, Take you and your blade and brake you both in two-break you both in two
