========= The Duelist LYRICS ==========

Son of swordsman, born a warrior
Insubordinate tempting fate
And in the shadow of the rising sun
He would duel with the great

From the master to the temple
Where this boy would come of age
In the forest he would hone his skills
And the trunks would feel his rage

Earth, knowing the small, by way of the great
One goes from shallow to the deep
Water conforms, into the shape
Shape of the vessel, square or round

Fight or die
Immortal ronin and samurai
Into battle his blade held high
See your demise, you can see it in his eyes
Will you
Fight or die
Immortal ronin and samurai
Into battle his blade held high
See your demise, you can see it in his eyes

Left his village and his kinsmen
Walked along the path of war
Challenged several times and answered all
Something never seen before

Draw the blade, adopt the stance
It’s a swift and deadly dance
And his foes who promised certain doom
Really never had a chance

Fire, matters of war, scale large to small
Careful consideration
Wind, schools of martial arts, strive on your path
Point of view of the straight and true

The way, he would follow the way of the warrior
In the school of two swords he would triumph
Away, from the battlefield on to a lonely cave
Where the book of five rings would be written

The void, hard to define, the inner depths
Terms of the surface entryway
Having attained, rhythm of war
When the time comes to strike and score

========= Historic Fact ==========

Miyamoto Musashi, born in 1584 in Harima, was a legendary samurai who dedicated his life to the warrior’s path. He fought and won over 60 duels, starting with his first at age 13. His most famous victory was against Sasaki Kojiro, whom he defeated with a single strike using a wooden sword. Musashi developed the “Niten Ichi-ryū” style, which focused on using two swords in harmony, blending physical skill with spiritual philosophy. Beyond combat, he also practiced calligraphy, ink painting and the tea ceremony, believing in the importance of cultivating the warrior’s spirit through the arts.
