When it began he was strong But the road has been so long Years have passed; age has come Now he's old and grey and done One last trial, lift the blade One good death a legend made And his reputation saved It's death by the sword he craves You have come the trial begins If you're victorious he wins Test his guard find a way in He will not surrender
He stands alone, the old grey one He'll get it done
The time has come to test The strength of his beliefs And when he fights he only seeks release The blade it bites A legend that goes on and on, forever more
Come face your fate face his steel A dance of blades it seems unreal Muscles burn, sweat it flows With each cut, exhaustion grows One mistake; now he bleeds Will he get the death he needs? End it now; plant the seed He will be immortal
The time has come to test The strength of his beliefs And when he fights he only seeks release The blade it bites A legend that goes on and on, forever more The warrior
A lifetime of violence has but one end Death his only friend No glory in silence; he lived by the sword He'll die by the sword By the sword He lived by the sword And he'll die by the sword
The time has come to test The strength of his beliefs And when he fights he only seeks release The blade it bites A legend that lives on and on, forever more I said the time has come to test The strength of his beliefs And when he fights no mercy no release The blade it bites A legend that goes on and on, forever more That goes on and on, forever more That goes on and on, forever more The warrior
