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
