Shiroyama
It's the nature of time
That the old ways must give in.
It's the nature of time
that the new ways comes in sin.
When the new meets the old
It always end ancient ways
And as history told
The old ways go out in a blaze
Encircled by a vulture.
The end of ancient culture
The dawn of destiny draws near
Imperial force defied
Facing 500 samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified,
It's the last stand of the samruai
Surrounded and outnumbered
As a new age begins
The way of The warrior comes to an end
As a new age begins
The way of the old must apprehend
It's the nature of time
That the old ways must give in.
It's the nature of time
that the new ways comes in sin.
An offer of surrender
Saigo ignore contender
The dawn of destiny is here
Imperial force defied,
Facing 500 samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered,
60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified,
It's the last stand of the samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
Until the dawn they hold on
Only 40 are left at the end
None alive none survived Shiroyama
Imperial force defied,
Facing 500 samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered,
60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified,
It's the last stand of the samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 facing the gun
60 to 1, culture undone
