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
