To Live By The Sword Lyrics - Lionheart - Saxon

To follow the code of honour 

Die with a sword in your hand 

That is the way of the warrior 

Your forefathers left on the land 

To live by the sword 

You must die by the sword 

Trained in the way of the masters 

Disciples of conflict and war 

The blade of and the bow are your weapons 

Your brothers have fought here before 

Forged in the land of the shogun 

A blade of unbreakable steel 

The samurai spirit is with you 

To battle you carry their seal

[Chorus:] 

To live by the sword 

You must die by the sword 

Warriors born to be free 

To live by the sword 

You must die by the sword 

Warriors born to be free 

To live by the sword 

Born in the shadows of Fuji 

From out of the ashes you rise 

To fight on the side of the emperor 

Like many before you that died 

You courage can never be broken 

Warriors fearless and brave 

You follow the ancient traditions 

Sworn to your ancestors grave 

[Repeat chorus]

To live by the sword 

To die by the sword 

Warriors free 

To live and die by the sword 

To follow the code of honour 

Die with a sword in your hand 

That is the way of the warrior 

Your forefathers left on the land 

The samurais spirir walks with you 

A blade of unbreakable steel 

Forged in the land of the shogun 

To battle you carry their seal
