Sword Dance.

I dance with my sword
I move with my blade,
I am empty I am true oh what a pleasure to be one with you!
I am a kid I am a man I am a boy I am a dread.
I know the moves that honor the ancestors
I know the moves that can defend and kill.
I swirl around defying death the only motive - not to cut myself!


I squat - it cuts, I turn - it thrusts - the lamp deflects off the light of blade,
Oh sword be nice and play my game,.


The beat of drum awakened the beast but the beast is tame, the beast is happy and insane,
let's dance on the razor edge - beast and man
different and same.
