Leap into the unknown
No fear is allowed on your mind
Lost arts of the old ways
Unfold like a scroll before your eyes

Waiting for the insight
A flash of knowledge piercing through
Like a lightning bolt from the sky

Chorus:
Nine levels of power
Laws of the universe begin to bend
Nine sacred cuts of Kuji-Kiri
All secrets are revealed in the end

Wait for the side-effects
To take hold as you progress
Increase in body heat
To be unseen waits you in the end

But first the hand positions
And the nine arduous mantras
Must be mastered until perfection

Chorus

The quest now turning to an obsession
Emptying and widening your mind
But no turning back in the half-way until
Full mastery of the nine

Imagine the spirits of ancestor ninjas
Guiding your path
Imagine them striking on all of their foes
With all of their wrath

Rin - Strength of mind and body
Pyo - Direction of energy
Toh - Harmony with the universe
Sha - Healing of self and others
Kai - Premonition of danger
Jin - Knowing thoughts of others
Retsu - Mastery of space and time
Zai - Control of the elements of nature
Zen - Enlightenment

Finally true mastery is attained
Begin to transcend this plane of reality
Total practice of the Kuji-Kiri
Widened consciousness to the brink of insanity

See if you can trace back the path
Become a master of two worlds
Return with the strength that you've attained
Or else become lost within yourself forever

Chorus
