Where this boy would come of age

And the trunks would feel his rage

Left his village and his kinsmen

Challenged several times and answered all

          G            D5
Something never seen before

Draw the blade, adopt the stance

       D5
It’s a swift and deadly dance

Really never had a chance

Wind, schools of martial arts, strive on your path

              Am      Bm7     D5  Em
Point of view of the straight and true!

The way, he would follow the way of the warrior

Away, from the battlefield on to a lonely cave

Where the book of five rings would be written

The void, hard to define, the inner depths

Terms of the surface entryway
