*Sword slashes* Ahhh ZIRO SLASH!! Damn..I’ve been at this all day and still nothing... My lungs haven’t been expanding I’ve been stumbling taking my last breaths My soul is once again wreaking havoc As I stray on the verge of death I’m dreaming and I feel I might fall deep within But if my sword is by my side then darkness cannot win We rescued Swords 4 Hire out from the abyss To take you on a journey of the 6 legends I’m dreaming and I feel I might fall deep within But if my clan is by my side then darkness cannot win Inspired, we revived the Militia’s mission Now listen to the tales of the 6 legends Clarity: Zero In

Arigato/Kohei: Rolling through the island, cruisin' Music feeling so therapeutic Holding dark thoughts so confusing Feeling like I'm gonna lose it Arigato (Sandra Maminta): Hi, hello there, it's your girl again Woke up in the morning with the urge to check on all my friends 'Cause I cherish them, S4H, I care for them Apprehend the villains, so no missions on the weekends So I can paint murals to uplift all the hurt We have an obligation to take care of Mother Earth Surfaces so ominous, filling lives with awesomeness Imperfect, yet so beautiful, I'm here to show you what you're worth Arigato/Kohei: Rolling through the island, cruisin' Music feeling so therapeutic Holding dark thoughts so confusing Feeling like I'm gonna lose it Zen (MC Ziro): Yo, what your worth, I’m going Zen-Mode All who feeling worthless come check me, let me bless those And you gotta get with that, patience be my battle tac Almost lost to flames of rage, but I told ‘em hell no I know there’s something you can’t find, praying to Azoran skies So one must obtain the wisdom of sky dragons in your mind And everything will be alright, even if you lost someone Feeling down is temporary like crushing on your summer love, yeah Arigato/Kohei: Rolling through the island, cruisin' Music feeling so therapeutic Holding dark thoughts so confusing Feeling like I'm gonna lose it AWOL (A.D.V.I.S.S.): It's AWOL, I'm back in, the clan’s statesman A soldier on the main front forming protection On days like these, I reminisce times overseas Seeing the beautiful scenes of A world that is grand, I grasp life in my hands Everything has a purpose and that's why I stand Always watching over lands, a Warrior's optic lens Breathing in and out, stay vigilant til the end Arigato/Kohei: Rolling through the island, cruisin' Music feeling so therapeutic Holding dark thoughts so confusing Feeling like I'm gonna lose it MC Ziro: Yo, jet black furnace, no signs of what was once A catalyst for summer love without a spark in months Didn’t pack no maps, just cruisin', through any trace of hate Always bracing for impact, staying vigilant in the mental space From the streets, to the trees, back out in District 4 From the sun, to the shores, in our house you hire swords Like for real, put trust in my skill, eyes locked on getting the kill Deadly weapons, Yggdrasil, connecting what we aim to heal Arigato/Kohei: Rolling through the island, cruising Music feeling so therapeutic Holding dark thoughts so confusing Feeling like I'm gonna lose it Rolling through the island, cruising Music feeling so therapeutic Holding dark thoughts so confusing Feeling like I'm gonna lose it

My lungs haven’t been expanding I’ve been stumbling taking my last breaths My soul is once again wreaking havoc So I stray on the verge of death Dreaming, don’t give it up, Inziro Dreaming, don’t give it up, Zen Dreaming, don’t give in, Arigato (Oh) Riptied, Kina, AWOL x2 Here’s how the story goes we find out I was flirting with the verge of death, it’s no doubt Undisputed, underrated, the Azoran ghost Thought the midnight black would swallow me whole ‘Cause there was no soul left in me I was a lifeless entity I damaged my health with no hope for help And developed suicidal tendencies Unlocked, boxed in a purgatory With a choice between a blade or a cross I went with the blade, needless to say How could I ever have thought I was wrong Focal point shifted, I’m anxious but vicious Don’t ever claim that you know what I’m on Contagiously spreading some cataclysm Yo, I’m coming to break you off ‘Cause there wasn’t a soul in the vicinity Who thought I could get a grip on my infinity Hoping my homies would consider me But it all ended up with them just ditching me I had gotten a deal, too good to be real Pathetic corrected appeal To match up to my level and skill I disagreed to agree on releasing the seal So on the path of self righteousness This verge of death would take me Tsukiyo emerged from the rocks And destruction in me was awakening But as the bad energy had passed I felt the clarity embracing me I sheathed the blade, a moonlit night Inscribed was INZIRO, here’s the legacy I didn’t know what this would lead to I didn’t think I’d meet new people Who had dreams like mine to see through And who declared me as their equal They consistently inspire This my comfort spot for life S4H, come drop requests Like making prayers at a shrine My lungs haven’t been expanding I’ve been stumbling taking my last breaths My soul is once again wreaking havoc So I stray on the verge of death Dreaming, don’t give it up, Inziro Dreaming, don’t give it up, Zen Dreaming, don’t give in, Arigato Riptied, Kina, AWOL x2 Step into the grand tour, a brand new adventure begins New challenges await me and my friends Evil lurking ‘round the block trying to plot our deaths But legend has it that the Shogun will strike again Calm waves and flames in a massive storm As the breakbeats sampling clashing swords This that roman coliseum raw battle form You about to see a whole new style of war Inflicting the pain, you downplay my bars Never knew anything other than taking it too far But death checks yes on the weakest of hearts Enhancing my art by light spars in the dark Execute my missions, my spirit approaching the stars Sword for hire, yo I made a commitment, I strengthen defenses Uncovering distance like Mario I’ve been easing the tension around Azora now knows what I’m all about Rie, Kin, Zen, Riptied Beta, AWOL, Z all be holding it down Blood for the town, immortal our sound I never ask if they got my back ‘Cause they’ve been holding my spine with only their hands To make sure that it never gives out Like a good ole’ samaritan But don’t group me in with my heritage ‘Cause I’m flipping the script like it don't exist ‘Cause I’m meant to do it different than my parents did Alpha and Omega Monitor the ghosts repairing Swords 4 Hire in the building We the center of attention, yeah A glitch in the system’s coding Former victim of self-loathing Samurai or a ronin Defend the innocent and the homies Down, when I jump in without a plan Down, whenever you need a hand The Revolution exposing the land I’m down to go to war right by the clan My lungs haven’t been expanding I’ve been stumbling taking my last breaths My soul is once again wreaking havoc So I stray on the verge of death Dreaming, don’t give it up, Inziro Dreaming, don’t give it up, Zen Dreaming, don’t give in, Arigato (Oh) Riptied, Kina, AWOL x4

Brigadoom, gravitational fist of the moon Shuriken shadow steps kissing death in the booth For the jab, left connect, right hook typhoon Wiping out my enemies with Hiraikotsu Ice keki selfie on a foreign warship yelling "Inziro Clan!", my actions foreshadowin' all my energies Hidden ninja agility ripping’ the skin off for infinity Killah instinct symphonies always seem to get the best of me I’m way greater on my worst behavior Ain’t living with regrets or risking it all on a prayer Acquired skill - make a katana out of anything Six seventy, questioning counterfeit memories I go to work like Kool Moe Dee But I never did it in any type of way that you told me Never took any kinda pandemic leave yet ‘Cause my swords stay hungry for that taste of clean flesh I was the best to ever swing my sword with inexperience At a dragon with less than a sec to dodge it’s breath Now check out all my specs, wanna disrespect my weapon You’ll never break our spirit, we strike first after assessment Cobra Kai, spent all 3 wishes on “I hope you die” Namek dragon balls, pleasure in a gory sight Sending messenger hawks for a battle at dawn Lights out, get the check and end it all like a buster call Just another day inside inside this dose Of reality choosing which side affects the most Definitely need equality in the mix The star, this black cosmos It’s odd folks, don’t feel the bondage Infused with everything, surrounding carnage Pardon this nonsense, unrealistic expectations Like it’s Farfetch’d, I don’t need to catch ‘em all Instead grab the 10 finger discount And dish out this time warning direct on this spectrum TV channels program deflection Make sure to test each guessing person you know Got 2020 vision looking through these spectacles The world’s a circus and we’re the animals It’s bananas, nuts, cashews and almonds All in steadily going downhill with no profit So in dire need, I supply the ease to settle your dis-ease, breathe When this pen is sealed in airtight You’ll be glad and get bags with the cure for life And you’ll be alright for weary kindred souls Learning this for everyone, it deepens your hold To forego battles through these critical times Read the visuals and universal signs

about

Azora Isle, a beautiful tropical island and home to many guilds and organizations, but in our story we focus on the newly revived, Swords 4 Hire team. Kohei was a boy who had nothing left to live for when he stumbled upon Tsukiyo, a sacred katana stuck in the rocks of the District 5 Beach. Since finding his sword, Kohei operates under the code name, Inziro and MC Ziro when he performs as a music artist. He is also responsible for the revival of the Swords 4 Hire organization, which saved Azora many years ago, but also left the island in ruins.

With the reboot, things have taken a nice, smooth start and S4H gains some new faces! The kindhearted and selfless, Arigato. The hilarious and calm, yet once a hothead, Zen. The ferocious foreign swords-woman, Kina The Executioner. The militant gentle giant, AWOL. And the mysterious ninja rumored to be involved with The Revolution, Riptied.

S4H, Vol. 1 is a collection of songs depicting the lives and some of the events in the member's journeys.

We're happy to have you along for the ride. Enjoy!
