Strike! - Whispered

He stands in the form so total

Even gods are watching in awe

Essence of calm, pure concentration and

Perfect void of the mind

Everything from the years of training

Will array in a technique pure

Years dancing with steel, we’ll see

What he has been living for…

Rise up — and see beyond the eyes

Rise up — and gain the focus which gives no room for ties

Sound hands holding the blade

Eyes fixed to his grip inferior

Roar of the battle withers to silent clatter

Time slows down to motion

Where stir of the dust can be seen

One year, a second in this moment

Of bloody scene, and he moves…

With the swift pace unrivaled

Unseen by the aspirants' eyes and

He knows in his heart so unbridled

That he’ll soon execute the flawless…

Strike!

Strike!

Strike!

Through the laws earthly, break them!

Strike!

With the power of a content mind

First the silence breaks yet time stands still

He flows through the air, through the adversary’s form

Through enemy’s frame

Perfect execution leaving in scorn halved shadow of a man

Startled confusion starting to breed in the midst of the horde, and he moves…

With the swift pace unrivaled

Unseen by the aspirants' eyes and

He knows in his heart so unbridled

That he’ll soon execute the flawless…

Strike!

Strike!

Strike!

Through the laws earthly, break them!

Strike!

With the power of a content mind
