On fiery wings, he flies with pride
No panic of ever being defied
No threat has ever made him quiver
For he knows that his prophecy will be deliveredWithout fear of death, there's no challenge too great

To banish demons and avenge their crimeWhen threatened in battle, he will never retreat
For he need not be intimidated by defeat
If faced with a sudden unexpected demise
He takes comfort in knowing again he will riseGaining wisdom within each lifetime that passes
Secretly wiser than the rest of the masses
For consequences of decisions never need question
When you know next time youcan make a new suggestion
