I

I must empower my courage 
And master my strength,
Enlightened by wisdom
I’ll go to the greatest length.
And the lighting spirit 
 	Will channel me towards my iron-will,
I’m a hunter
 	My eyes are on the kill.


My enemies will not defeat me
 	And I’ll prevail,
My defiant spirit will triumph
I’m strong as hell.
I must keep my eyes open 
And remain constant vigilant,
I must centre myself
To everything that is intelligent.


I will remain strong 
And rely on my higher power,
I must shine all my instincts
And I’ll light the darkest hour.
I’m the shaker, I’m the maker
I’m the one, who you must fear,
I’m alone but I’m the power of one,
Loud and clear.
