Lyrics Samurai Night - Dan Bull

Samurai Night

I was born on the beach as a ghost
Couldn’t be killed by a horde in a fleet full of boats
Now I stick my sword inches deep in their throats
'Cause I’m curious to see just how deep it can go
Formerly a samurai, no more am I keeping the code
Tsushima’s my home, I’ll do everything to protect it
So don’t sleep or you’ll end up dead in your bed with your neck slit
Buried the next morning, there’s your warning, better heed it
Even the sun rays of the eve and dawn are red and bleeding
Is there a better feeling than being in the midst of warfare?
The pulse in your neck is beating, your breath hits the warm air
In every region, I’ll protect the people needing it
From evil deeds of people seeing their freedom, stealing it
The parable of my life, the flight path of a burning arrow
Incomparable by night, I’m that disconcerting shadow
You heard the murmurs and those rumours are true
My purpose is to murder every human that chooses
To intrude with their boots, they’re muddying my motherland
So, in two minutes, you will be another body by my hand
I leave you like the leaves blown in the wind
I’ve clearly shown you that I’m my own shogun, I’m Jin
(Samurai night)
Samurai night, shadows in the twilight
Fight fire with fire when there’s a firefight
Samurai days, the summer’s bright haze
Fades away as you die by my blade
Samurai night, shadows in the twilight
Fight fire with fire when there’s a firefight
Samurai days, the summer’s bright haze
Fades away as you die by my blade
(Samurai night, shadows in the twilight)
(Samurai night, samurai night)
I scoff at the Mongol hordes
What’s an unstoppable force to an immovable object?
You’re not knocking me off of my horse
I’ve got you locking your doors, the gods haven’t got any laws
I couldn’t pause, I challenge them to show me what they’ll enforce
While I’m chopping through your mandible
And dropping your jaws, I’ll cut this occupation off at the source
The Mongols are warmongers who want it all and more
I long to storm in and ward off their onslaught once and for all
I warn you, war’s no longer run by numbers
You’re overencumbered so I’m coming and going
You’ll never know what I’ve plundered
Picking you off one by one 'til it rose to a hundred
Won’t stop 'til I’ve got your whole lot stumbling home
Like a drunkard, every moment you’re going to be hunted
Punctured and punched with blows to the gut
'Til your bones no longer function
I leave you like the leaves blown in the wind
I’ve clearly shown you that I’m my own Shogun, I’m Jin
I won’t pretend to be a samurai, now I’m a vengeful spirit
The kind of man already planning your eventual killing
Not even preferential with it, I just pick a target and pick it apart
As if dismissing an ignorant argument
That isn’t hard, is it?
What part of it is hard to get?
I might just have to get you a «Being a Cadaver» starter kit
I didn’t start this shit but finishing it is what I’m after
And if I’ve got to mask up, well then I’m gonna have to
(Samurai night)
Samurai night, shadows in the twilight
Fight fire with fire when there’s a firefight
Samurai days, the summer’s bright haze
Fades away as you die by my blade
Samurai night, shadows in the twilight
Fight fire with fire when there’s a firefight
Samurai days, the summer’s bright haze
Fades away as you die by my blade
(Samurai night)
