Soul Is Steel
Lyrics: Maureen S. O'Brien, Jan. 1998
Music: "Sakura", Japanese Trad.
Insp: "Kitsunegari" by Vince Gilligan and Tim Minear

Soul is steel
Soul is steel
Bright beneath the rust, I can feel
True steel waits to cut into the day.
Only deeds can polish rust away.

How you die
When you die
Does not matter as much as why.
Duty always to one's family.
Honor to an honored enemy.

Soul is steel
Soul is real
Pay my debts and get off the wheel.
Choose my time, not whether fast or slow.
Show no fear. I know I have to go.
