The lyrics are Raiden's words, because at the beginning of the song he says "I realize you are just like me," and that indicates Raiden's realization that he and Armstrong are the same (as Armstrong tells him before their fight). So, "I've carved my own path" is Raiden referring to himself (you carve things with a knife or a blade), and Armstrong is a big, angry, "wrathful" American (lol). This song expresses Raiden's thoughts due to his meeting with Armstrong.
