Shiroyama Lyrics

It's the nature of time
that the old ways must give in.
It's the nature of time
that the new ways come 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 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.As the new age begin
the way of the warrior comes to an end
as a new age begin
the ways of the old must apprehendIt's the nature of time

that the old ways must give in.
It's the nature of time
that the new ways come in sin.An offer of surrender
Saigo ignore contender
the dawn of destiny is hereImperial 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 survive
ShiroyamaImperial 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
