In charge of the legions
 warlord living to serve
 living by the masters call
 hesitation's just a word

 Raised for a purpose
 zero parental guidance
 blood red rising sun
 the symbol, the mark, the foretold path

 Raised with the sword as a brother
 respect the steel, living as one
 a sharp love with uncutable bonds
 ritual of the blade

 Ritual
 a katana blessing, disgrace
 the sin above all
 companion, seals the faith

 Honour's the lifeforce
 gives fuel to the fire
 bleeding shows passion

 Superiority by greater strength in loyalty
 decades without failure
 pleasure in victory beats the fear

 At last all the gods lift their hands
 take away all their grace
 alone with the blade to face the deeds
 ritual of the blade

 Ritual
 a katana blessing, disgrace
 the sin above all
 companion, seals the faith

 Oooh, disgrace
 oooh, seals the faith

 Ritual of the blade

 Ritual
 a katana blessing, disgrace
 the sin above all
 companion, seals the faith

 Ritual...
