The path toward Heaven

The road to paradise lies through my blade.
Slaying across vast distances, none dare approach.
Cutting down foes from afar, none can come near.
A thousand miles, yet ten steps? Unthinkable!
I am the blade, the blade is me,
One with the steel, unyielding and free.
No shadow escapes, no distance shields,
The sword’s will bends all, none it yields.
A single stroke, the heavens part,
For I am death, the warrior’s art.
