Sabaton Lyrics
"Shiroyama"

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 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 a new age begins the way of the warrior comes to an end
As a new age begins 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 comes 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 one facing the gun
60 to one culture undone
