My father was a warrior
His followers were legion and all of them expendable
His weapons, they were fearsome and always indispensable
racing like a stallion through the pain
When your father's a warrior
every dream is a campaign

My father was a warrior
each choice was a strategy, each step was a battle
every problem was the enemy, to be slaughtered and then straddled
staring straight ahead with stony eyes
When your father's a warrior
you focus on the prize

If you want a piece of me
then bring it on
But you best be careful
you're messin' with a warrior's son

My father was a warrior
each talent was an arsenal, each family was a nation
every shame, a court-martial, every hug, a commendation
shackled by an old chain of command
When your father's a warrior
you're marching to the band
