 Lyrics:
 
 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, rolling on and on
 
 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 brake you both
 in two-break you both in two
