Sword Souls

[Verse 1]
Roaming ronin
Lost, now he's strolling
Strike of the blade
It's his soul that he's holding
Live by the code
For the soul, no consoling
Humble abode
Sat in robes, uncontrolling

Desire, to set straight
Fire, which fuels rage
Liar, that caused hate
Dire, they’ll all pay

Clear the walkway for the cruel way
Honorable act, horrible in fact

Die by the code, bushido intact
Bushido, bushido, bushido intact
(No time to react)
Bushido, bushido, bushido intact
(Cut them no slack)
Bushido, bushido, bushido intact
Die by the code, bushido intact
Bushido, bushido, bushido intact

[Pre-Chorus]
Die in hope, can’t live or cope, less pain
Won’t let it show, he’s on his own this way
Light close, darkness goes, mend a soul
The ronin gladly waits

[Chorus]
Firm grip on the tanto
Harakiri, harakiri
Cut and slice with a firm blow
Harakiri, harakiri
Disemboweled on the first go
Harakiri, harakiri
A gracious scene and act so clean
Light that gleams off a beam so clean

[Bridge]
A gracious scene and act so clean
Light that gleams off a beam so clean

[Verse 2]
And the fact of the matter is
There's no hope the anarchist
Eyes lit when the dagger hit
For a soul, so cavernous
Filted the jilted
Tilted till wilted
Pilgrim stilted
Quilted with illness
Bravado and realness
Courage instill this

Too much for many
Seppuku, he’s ready
Poised, steady, dark, deadly
Too much for many
Seppuku, he’s ready
Poised, steady, dark, deadly
Too much for many
Seppuku, he’s ready
Poised, steady, dark, deadly
Poised, steady, dark, deadly
Poised, steady, dark, deadly

[Pre-Chorus]
Die in hope, can’t live or cope, less pain
Won’t let it show, he’s on his own this way
Light close, darkness goes, mend a soul
The ronin gladly waits

[Chorus]
Firm grip on the tanto
Harakiri, harakiri
Cut and slice with a firm blow
Harakiri, harakiri
Disemboweled on the first go
Harakiri, harakiri
A gracious scene and act so clean
Light that gleams off a beam so clean
