Die or Fight

Every blow of my sword, any ground won

Is one more step towards my destiny

Watch me fulfill my art!

Hear the story turn into a legend!

I have come so far for this day,

To be able to grasp my destiny!

Behind me the enemies' bodies are piling up,

I exhort the men following me

But as much as this glance should have spurred them on

As much it may have turned out to be a blunder

Faith, Doubt, Choice!

Life, Death, Fight!

My eyes settle on this body and everything slows down again

I still don't understand his sacrifice,

Doubt arises in my heart

What if future generations remember him and not me?

His madness begins to enthrall me

My quest seems futile, my deeds, my accomplishments escape me

But I feel that something mighty is within grasp of hand

I've to untangle this mystery, find my path in this living

I've slighted death for too long

I now fight by confronting it

May my arm be firm,

Because tenuous is the boundary between forgetting and remembering a man

Long is my journey and dead, I won't be able to roam it
