Many years ago in a land far away
Lived the son of a wellknown king
Nearly a child he was tought how to fight
And soon he knew how to fling

As a very young boy in the cast of the warriors
He was held in respect
He trained all day and after a while
The wooden block was wrecked

The fighters were all living in the night
Their kicking legs and their flashing hands
are faster than light

A dragon on their arms and you knew
That they came from Shaolin
Were no man could get in
The people who tried are but a few
In the middle of the night on their own
Their only delight was a ten-men's fight
They spared not a leg not a bone

He'd become a priest searching for the truth
But he waited till he was fullgrown
And as a middle-aged man he went away
And started a life on his own

The road was long and the weather was raw
He took the impregnable mount
And he reached Shaolin as a very strong man
Tough he had been living as a hound

And the fighters were all living in the night
Their kicking legs and their flashing hands
are faster than light

A dragon on their arms and you knew
That they came from Shaolin
Were no man could get in
The people who tried are but a few
In the middle of the night on their own
Their only delight was a ten-men's fight
They spared not a leg not a bone

Solo Eddy
Solo both

To become one of them you enter the temple
On your way for some real hot stuff
Snakes and spiders, fire and traps
Life out there is rough

But if you make it till the end, you lift up your hands
On your arms appears a tattoo
The secrets of the temple and the dragon of Shaolin
It all belongs to you

And the fighters are all living in the night
Their kicking legs and their flashing hands
are faster than light

A dragon on their arms and you knew
That they came from Shaolin
Were no man could get in
The people who tried are but a few
In the middle of the night on their own
Their only delight was a ten-men's fight
They spared not a leg not a bone
