• Lettera B

Be wise, be brave,
says a father to his son
Be alert, be strong,
never bow before anyone
Never compromise your ideals
before a nation's scorn
Remember, my son, be on guard
It's always calm before the storm
Be bold, be daring, never fear
going in for the kill
Be smart, be cunning, live by
your elders' will
Just remember you're free,
never to be anyone's slave
For our laws and ideas you'll take
with you to the grave
Ancient principles of the past
are still alive today
Amidst changes and imposed laws
we've always found a way
I pass to you the power and wisdom
my elders passed on to me
Your heart beats now for your fathers
and for your family tree
[chorus]
Blood, Honor, Loyalty
Blood, Honor, Loyalty
Blood, Honor, Loyalty
Blood, Honor, Loyalty
If you live by the sword,
you die by the sword
That's what separates
the boys from the men
You're bound by honor, sworn by loyalty
Your family, your race you defend
The world is made up
of beggars and thieves,
peasants, kings, nobles, and lords
Judge not a man by the wealth
that he wields
But by the power of his sword
One can't judge a man's character
by how many tales he has sung
When the truth lies in his actions
and not the work of his tongue
[repeat chorus]
