You have a sword, and I have passion.
Everyone has this passion.
This sword dwells in the heart.
The sword is in my hand, and passion is in my heart.
This is the freewheeling martial world you and I share.
The road I walk is the path I pursue.
I can raise my sword or lower my spear, give up my body or let my heart turn cold, but I must never be disloyal.
Benevolence and the Way travel together; righteousness is always by my side. Loyalty and filial piety make for a noble chapter, not something to pursue for gain.
Do not divide the world into four, then reduce it all to one.
The principles of the martial world endure, and the heart we began with will never die.
