So, here we are again old foe. I see your resolve hasn’t waned.
Once again you have come to take from a spirit you believe you’ve tamed.

Must I remind you again, at risk of sounding brash, of whom you’re about to confront.
You seem to have forgotten the battles we’ve fought so I suppose I must be blunt .

Ah, good fortune is mine to have a foe such as you, I’m honored to keep you
at bay
But once again, though mighty you are, when it’s done. It will be my day

Yes, it’s true, you have wounded me many times. But fallen I’ve not and you know the
reason why?
A Warrior I was born, and as a Warrior I have lived, and only a Warrior will cause me
to die.

What’s that you say? No, I meant no disrespect. You are very powerful and not to be
taken light
Indeed, it is because of your power that I am strengthened and prepared to fight.

So bring your best to this new field of battle and do what you think you must
But know this old foe. It is I who will be standing when the winds clear the dust.
