A Samurai Fight No I Movement without thought Fighting with an open heart No notion of right and wrong Holding no grudges Complete forgiveness,

Acceptance,

Presence Understanding all sides Yet still playing my part My enemy is not my enemy Yet we fight to the death He is but a mirror of myself Equally fierce in his clarity Humble in his strength Surrendered with an intent to kill Unafraid of death My sword pierces his armor and finds his heart Another death in paradise I know death comes for me too Nearer with each sunset,

Each sunrise I will think about it when it happens,

If I can Until then I live in peace every second In God's perfect world A Japanese translation by Naoko Saito A Samurai Fight Movement without thought Fighting with an open heart No notion of right and wrong Holding no grudges Complete forgiveness,

Acceptance,

Presence Understanding all sides Yet still playing my part My enemy is not my enemy Yet we fight to the death He is but a mirror of myself Equally fierce in his clarity Humble in his strength Surrendered with an intent to kill Unafraid of death My sword pierces his armor and finds his heart Another death in paradise I know death comes for me too Nearer with each sunset,

Each sunrise I will think about it when it happens,

If I can Until then I live in peace every second In God's perfect world
