1. STRIKE!

He stands
In the form so total
Even gods are watching in awe
Essence of calm pure concentration
And perfect void of the mind

Everything
From the years of training
will array in a technique pure
Years dancing with the steel we'll se
What he has been living for

Rise up!
And see beyond the eyes
Rise up!
And gain the focus
Which gives no room for ties

Sound hands
Holding the blade
Eyes fixed to his grip inferior
Roar of the battle
Withers to silent clatter

Time
Slows down to motion
Where stir of the dust can be seen
One year - a second
In this moment of
Bloody scene

And he moves...
With the swift peace unrivaled
Unseen by the aspirants' eyes
And he knows
In his heart so unbridled
That he'll soon execute
The flawless
Strike!

Strike!

Strike!
Through the laws earthly break them
Strike!
With the power of a content mind

First
The silence breaks yet time stands still
He flows
Through the air
Through the adversary's form

Through enemy's frame

Perfect execution
Leaving in scorn
Halved shadow of a man
Startled confusion
Starting to breed
In the midst of the horde

And he moves...
With the swift peace unrivaled
Unseen by the aspirants' eyes
And he knows
In his heart so unbridled
That he'll soon execute
The flawless
Strike!

Strike!

Strike!
Through the laws earthly break them
Strike!
With the power of a content mind
