Warrior Of The Rising Sun

[Boulton/Marsh]

Samurai!

In a long time ago, when the sword was your soul

And the sun turned to gold, and the day turned to night

A man stands alone, knowing he has the right

And the power of life, over all he surveys

With his sword in his hand, he rules all the land

Even fools understand, he lives just to fight

A man rich in pride, no one dares to defy

Don't stare in his eyes, 'cos he's the samurai

He bows his head and cries

'By The Sword I Will Live To Die'

His eyes are ablaze when he screams out his name

He lifts his sword to the rising sun

The sun hits the steel as he's shielding his eyes

He rules with the blade, will it drive him insane?

Death in life is his only way

Blood stains the land as they heed his commands

He'll fight to the death, when he makes his last stand

The time will come when they claim his crown

He'll be cut down 'cos he's only a man

But until that day, he will rule all this land

Samurai!

Samurai!

Samurai!

Samurai!

By the sword, You live to die...

[Solo]

You first killed so long ago

The way the warrior learns to fight

Can you feel your life's blood draining away?

Has the power to foresee

Knows the future, what's been before

Can't you see he's getting stronger? Sa-mur-ai!

Samurai!
