About

Lead singer Bruce Dickinson is an avid fencer, and this song was the first of many that reference sword fighting directly.

On later albums Bruce’s lyrics would reference European styles, stories, and legends, but on this one the lyrics are about a famous Japanese swordsman named Musashi.

Sun and Steel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel

[Verse 2]
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 break you both in two -
Break you both in two

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

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel

[Outro]
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel, and it's rolling still
