Stormwind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

a man of meditation ,
he walks the warrior´s road.
a man that no one conquers!
a warrior without fear in his heart,
with piercing eyes he see´s into your mind.

he has attained mastery of his art
and reveals it in all his actions!

samuraj!
live or die!
father to son!

a warriors eye!
live or die!
to kill without a sound!

he recognises a true threat.
patience is a quality of this man.




his mind is like a mirror that reflects
the power of his ki and zen.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stormwind's song Samuraj depict a man who is both a warrior and a person of meditation. He follows the path of the samurai, which requires both spiritual and martial training. Despite being a warrior, no one can conquer him as he has no fear in his heart. His piercing eyes allow him to see into the minds of his opponents. He has mastered his art and reveals it in all his actions. The chorus of the song, "Samuraj! Live or die! Father to son! A warrior's eye! Live or die! To kill without a sound!" emphasizes the code of the samurai, which dictates that they must be willing to die on the battlefield to protect their honor and that of their family. They are also expected to be deadly and efficient in their fighting tactics.


The second verse highlights more qualities of the samurai. They recognize true threats and have a patient approach to their battles. Their minds are like mirrors, reflecting the power of their ki and zen. This means they have achieved a state of mental and physical discipline that allows them to perform at their best. This interpretation of the samurai suggests that they are not just skilled fighters, but also bring a unique philosophy and approach to warfare.
