Dangers in every corner I have become pure water I can identify, I close my eyes I wear my sword at my side I wear my sword at my side Cleanse me deep in the fire I have become pure water I wear my sword at my side I wear my sword at my side I wear my sword at my side I wear my sword at my side I have become pure water I have become pure water I have become pure water
