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 apprehend
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.
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 survive 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
