Anahata - 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 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 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

'Till 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
