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 ends
the 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 five hundred
samurai
Surrounded and
outnumbered
sixty to one
the sword
face the gun
Bushido dignified
it's the last stand
of the Samurai
Surrounded and
outnumbered
As a new
age begins
the way of the warrior
comes to an end
As a new
age begins
the ways of 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 five hundred
samurai
Surrounded and
outnumbered
sixty to one
the sword
face the gun
Bushido dignified
it's the last stand
of the Samurai
Surrounded and
outnumbered
'Til the dawn
they hold on
Only forty are left
at the end
None alive
none survive
Shiroyama
Imperial force defied
facing five hundred
samurai
Surrounded and
outnumbered
sixty to one
the sword
face the gun
Bushido dignified
it's the last stand
of the Samurai
Surrounded and
outnumbered
Sixty to one
facing the gun
Sixty to one
culture undone
