"BLADES OF THE SAMURAI"
(T. Lear)
Tribute by Baalek Songheart and the Heroes of the Broken Oar
[light harp playing]
[harp gets faster]
[harp turns into guitar]
Slash, flash
Blades swing
Swipe, slice
Blades sing
[a cappella]
Two men stand upon a field
They stand, they stand alone
Two men stand, both motionless
Their visage made of stone
[guitar]
Two men move, two men swing
One blade is blocked, one falls
One man bleeds, one man leaps
The victor's place is born
[CHORUS]
Their blades flash as they fight
Their cries echo through the night
Two men, their paths wash with sin
The samurai have come again
Blood splashes upon the ground
One man falls in shame
The other keeps his honor clean
Tonight, he's gained his fame
These same two men have met before
As they will meet again
Their fates are intertwined, therefore
Their contest has no end
Throughout the paths of history
These men have fought and died
Returning to their mortal duel
Katanas at their side
[CHORUS]
Their blades flash as they fight
Their cries echo through the night
Two men, their paths wash with sin
The samurai have come again
The samurai have come again
Their swords ring out the air
The fearless warriors fight again
No rest will they find there
[guitar stops; harp begins]
[harp plays out softly to silence]
