Shin-ken (Part I)

I feel their hate*
 I can see the fear in their cowardly eyes
 They treat me as a beast, a demon
 The man who cannot feel
 Searching for glory
 So that to be reminded
 Fighting to death
 The great war's about to explode
 This is the chance for me to rise
 From this darkened hole
 It's hard to think
 There's only chaos around
 Just blood, and shouts
 Luck chose the enemy
 To claim the triumph against us
 Against me
 Just blood and shouts
 Death is near
 Pursuing me.
 I can't fall that soon
 And I hide under those
 Who looked at her eyes
 And I learnt (that) the power of mind
 Is the cutting edge of the sword
 From fight to fight, master after master
 Harvesting the seeds of knowledge
 My blade's required to veil for other's causes
 But my war's against the beast
 And the promises I didn't keep
 To those I left
 Throughout the way
 They call me beast, they call me demon
 Until my skill get over them as a master
 Practice and perfection I searched for
 Learning is all what I have done
 I faced death with courage everyday
 And I always saw the dawn rising again...
 And it was the time and the moment has arrived
 The warrior sight lights the trace of my blade...
 I honour the way you follow in life
 Now fight!
 Standing firm I keep your sight
 I await your first strike
 You use your force I use my mind
 Fate will decide... who will die?
 With honour you will lose your life
