Why Lie, Samurai?

I lie, therefore I am.
I buy, therefore I am.
I cry, therefore I am.
I fry, therefore I am.

I'm sly, therefore I am.
I'm dry, therefore I am.
I'm wry, therefore I am.
I'm high, therefore I am.

I spy, therefore I am.
I sigh, therefore I am.
I pry, therefore I am.
I die, therefore I am.
