Judas Priest - Worth Fighting For #judaspriest #hagakure

Hagakure (Kyūjitai: 葉隱; Shinjitai: 葉隠; meaning Hidden by the Leaves or Hidden Leaves),[1] or Hagakure Kikigaki (葉隠聞書), is a practical and spiritual guide for a warrior, drawn from a collection of commentaries by the clerk Yamamoto Tsunetomo, former retainer to Nabeshima Mitsushige (July 10, 1632 – July 2, 1700), the third ruler of what is now Saga Prefecture in Japan. Tashiro Tsuramoto compiled these commentaries from his conversations with Tsunetomo from 1709 to 1716; however, it was not published until many years afterwards. Written during a time when there was no officially sanctioned samurai fighting, the book grapples with the dilemma of maintaining a warrior class in the absence of war and reflects the author’s nostalgia for a world that had disappeared before he was born. You said I could never find a way to ease your mind But where I go you wind up in the dust I tried so hard to have you reach another side of me Instead, you went to nowhere and forgot So I wander on Asking where you might have gone From what I knew before Some things are worth fighting for Desert heat can wear you down, but still I’m rollin’ through Did I see your figure in the haze? I am driven by your thirst, to quench myself of love The sun beats on me for the price I pay So I wander on Asking where you might have gone From what I knew before Some things are worth fighting for, yeah Night road leads me to a town of ghosts I’m beckoned by the glow Of kerosene and tumble weed They’re calling out, forevermore Worth fighting for I’m leading in the wind Head bowed down from what I saw My shadow for a friend There’s some things are worth fighting for So I’m moving on Asking where you might have gone From what I knew before Some things are worth fighting for, yeah Worth fighting for Written by: Glenn Raymond Tipton, Robert Halford, Kenneth Downing Album: Angel Of Retribution Released: 2005
