Sabaton "Shiroyama" Songtext

Shiroyama

It's the nature of timeThat the old ways must give inIt's the nature of timeThat the new ways comes in sinWhen the new meets the oldIt always end the ancient waysAnd as history toldThe old ways go out in a blazeEbcircled by a vultureThe end of ancient cultureThe dawn of destiny draws near

Imperial force defied, facing 500 samuraiSurrounded and outnumbered60 to 1 the sword face the gunBushido dignifiedIt's the last stand of the samuraiSurrounded and outnumbered

As a new age beginsThe way of the warrior comes to an endAs a new age beginsThe ways of the old must apprehendIt's the nature of timeThat the old ways must give inIt's the nature of timeThat the new ways comes in sinAn offer of surrenderSaigo ignore contenderThe dawn of destiny is here

Imperial force defied, facing 500 samuraiSurrounded and outnumbered60 to 1 the sword face the gunBushido dignifiedIt's the last stand of the samuraiSurrounded and outnumbered

Until the dawn they hold onOnly 40 are left at the endNone alive, none surviveShiroyama

Imperial force defied, facing 500 samuraiSurrounded and outnumbered60 to 1 the sword face the gunBushido dignifiedIt's the last stand of the samuraiSurrounded and outnumbered60 to 1, facing the gun60 to 1, culture undone
