Blood of a warrior

Within my blood that does now flow
Amid the cluttered reddish glow
Lay written the code of life
A way to live, to learn and fight

Bound by oath sworn in act
I will regain what I now lack
Swimming amidst swift current beats
I twist and twirl on feet so fleet

My quest unerring leads to perfection
To stray from my path is out of question
For the way's been marked by royal blood
With will as resolute as stone is hard

Virtues of honor and passion laved
Mortal wounds endlessly I brave
Precious wine spilled on baked earth
An essential ritual to my soul's rebirth

Immaterial quill of unwavering faith
I dip you in essence that I now bathe
Strengthen yourself within my hand
That I may draw upon the land

For peace
For honor
For soul and blood
Blessed be my soul
