The warrior is ready to break,
Due to the difficult journey that caused pain.

Fatigue creeps up on the body and mind,
As he is prepared to raise the flag upside down.

Life’s path has become too rough,
As the fighter tries to hold back tears.

During the quest of survival,
The survivor realizes that quitting is not an option.  

If he throw in the towel,
The samurai not only loses his progress,
But forfeits his right to living.

Because existence is the only option,
He continues his route to the top of the mountain,
Fighting for the right to live a wonderful livelihood.
