BIOGRAGRAPY
What started as a bunch of teenage San Diegan Slayer/Manowar fans writing songs about Skelator taking over the world has turned into a bunch of 20 something year old Rainbow/Sabbath fans writing songs about their favorite fantasy books. The band has stayed true to itself through the years writing epic songs, and rock anthems. We are not a joke, but we also know how to have fun. Bands that take themselves too seriously bore us. But bands that don't play from the heart should be destroyed, this is our decree.

Cyber Samurai
Skelator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many battles were fought and won
Created by demons and dragons above
Beware the wrath of his laser sword
Cyber Samurai
Let honor be my guide
Cyber Samurai
Deep from the caverns the spirits will rise
Auras of evil now light up the sky
Now our hero is ready to die
Protecting his people from wrath and demise
Cyber Samurai
Let honor be my guide
Cyber Samurai
I'm fighting with my pride
Cyber Samurai
Let honor be my guide
Cyber Samurai
I'm fighting with my pride
The song "Cyber Samurai" by Skelator is a tribute to the Japanese culture and its mythology. The lyrics describe a heroic samurai who fights to protect his people against evil forces. The first verse talks about the samurai's origins, which are in the land of the rising sun, Japan. The second line describes how Japan has had many battles fought and won, indicating that the samurai has a long history of defending his people. The third line mentions demons and dragons, which are creatures that are common in Japanese mythology, and their influence is seen in the creation of the samurai. The last line of the verse warns of the samurai's power, which is represented by his laser sword.
The chorus of the song reiterates the samurai's code of honor, which drives him to fight for his people. He is fighting with pride and guided by his honor, and the repetition of the chorus reinforces the importance of these values to the samurai. The second verse introduces a new element of the story, which is the coming of evil forces that threaten the samurai's people. These forces are described as auras of evil that light up the sky. The samurai, willing to sacrifice himself for his people, is ready to die while protecting them.
Overall, the song "Cyber Samurai" is a powerful tribute to the Japanese culture's mythology and values, including honor and bravery. It celebrates the heroism of the samurai and the codes that they lived by.
