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
