Samurai Champloo
I walk along side two great beasts
Both so cunning, so deadly
Skilled and strong, they fight in harmony
On my left, a fiery demon trots
He holds his blade in between his fists
Branded ankles and bond wrists
To my right, a silent spector
His steel moves too fast to feel
So cold to all, but all do kneel
I have no lead nor muzzle
They are not mine or tame
But travel with me, and call me by name
With the flip of a coin
We treck the land in seach of my loss
So much for that coin toss
All those dead along the way
Its a blood bath to the very end
But who is my enemy, who is my friend?
When I find him, do I get to live
Its too soon to tell with these two beside me
After all its the samurai's journey
