[Intro — Heartbeat, Distant Bell, Slow Percussion] Silence. Breathe. Listen. The fight has already begun. [Verse 1] Steel in my hand. Fire in my veins. Every movement measured. Every strike remains. I have studied warriors. I have watched them fall. Strength without discipline Means nothing at all. You raise your weapon. I see your fear. You take one step toward me... And I am already here. [Pre-Chorus] The body reveals everything. Every breath. Every movement. Every mistake. [Chorus] BLOOD AND BLADE! DISCIPLINE AND PAIN! THE STRONGEST STAND! THE WEAK ARE LEFT BEHIND! BLOOD AND BLADE! NO FEAR! NO MERCY! IF YOU WANT TO TEST YOUR STRENGTH... COME AND FACE ME! [Verse 2] I do not fight for glory. I do not fight for fame. I fight because perfection Has always had a price to pay. Heroes seek forgiveness. Villains seek control. I seek something simpler: To master mind and soul. You think your armor saves you? You think your training's enough? Then show me. Show me what you're made of. [Pre-Chorus] No weapon can hide weakness. No mask can hide fear. The truth appears... When the blade is near. [Chorus] BLOOD AND BLADE! DISCIPLINE AND PAIN! THE STRONGEST STAND! THE WEAK ARE LEFT BEHIND! BLOOD AND BLADE! NO FEAR! NO MERCY! IF YOU WANT TO TEST YOUR STRENGTH... COME AND FACE ME! [Bridge — Quiet, Single Drumbeat] Cassandra. You were taught to kill. You were taught that violence was the only language. But you learned something I could not teach you. Choice. [Pause] Perhaps that is strength too. [Music Builds] But do not mistake mercy... For weakness. [Breakdown — Martial Percussion] BREATHE! MOVE! STRIKE! FALL! RISE! AGAIN! NO FEAR! NO HESITATION! NO ESCAPE! BLOOD! AND! BLADE! [Final Chorus — Massive] BLOOD AND BLADE! DISCIPLINE AND PAIN! THE STRONGEST STAND! THE WEAK ARE LEFT BEHIND! BLOOD AND BLADE! REMEMBER MY NAME! YOU CAME HERE TO TEST ME... NOW YOU KNOW THE PRICE! [Outro — Blade Sheathed] The fight is over. Sandra Wu-San. Lady Shiva.
