Blood, Honor, Loyalty

Be wise, be brave, says a father to his son

Be alert, be strong, never bow before anyone

Never compromise your ideals before a nation's scorn Remember, my son,

be on guard It's always calm before the storm

Be bold, be daring, never fear going in for the kill

Be smart, be cunning, live by your elders' will

Just remember you're free, never to be anyone's slave

For our laws and ideas you'll take with you to the grave

Ancient principles of the past are still alive today

Amidst changes and imposed laws we've always found a way

I pass to you the power and wisdom my elders passed on to me Your

heart beats now for your fathers and for your family tree

Blood, Honor, Loyalty

If you live by the sword, you die by the sword

That's what separates the boys from the men

You're bound by honor, sworn by loyalty

Your family, your race you defend

The world is made up of beggars and thieves,

peasants, kings, nobles, and lords

Judge not a man by the wealth that he wields

But by the power of his sword

One can't judge a man's character

by how many tales he has sung

When the truth lies in his actions

and not the work of his tongue
