Drums of war they echo loud
Daimyo rise no time to bow
Emperor's call a vow we keep
Samurai wake from ancient sleep
Armor shines in morn's first light
Steel and honor ready for fight
Blades unsheathed they gleam with might
Foreign ships approach the sight
Stand together hold the line
Every soul a bright divine
From the mountains to the shore
Samurai forevermore
Hooves pound fast on sacred land
Flags raised high by every hand
Whispers through the winds of war
Echo past the temple door
Hooves pound fast on sacred land
Flags raised high by every hand
Whispers through the winds of war
Echo past the temple door
Shadows stretch across the field
Every wound shall slowly heal
In the silence 'fore the storm
Samurai our spirits warm
Stand together hold the line
Every soul a bright divine
From the mountains to the shore
Samurai forevermore
