No Place for Disgrace |
Far to the east ruled the Samurai, mystic warrior class, |
Honorable brave, bark armoured man, donning hideous mask. |
700 years of reigning Japan, the masters of attack, |
Dominators of the isle of dragons, fearsom military caste. |
In battle no prisoners for the enemy, noble self-sacrifice, |
Crooked crowns sentenced to die, pay the bloody price. |
Sacred rites held close by the fighters, no place for disgrace, |
Taught to stand with dignity while staring in death’s face. |
chorus: |
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified, |
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side. |
Honor even in death, digrace is defied, |
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride. |
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified, |
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side. |
Honor even in death, digrace is defied, |
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride. |
Gracefully, with steady hand, |
He takes the dagger that lays before him. |
Collects his thoughts for the last time, |
And plunges the dirge from left to right. |
No sign of pain on his face, |
With the final cut withdraws the blade. |
Loyal companion by his side, |
Lifts the sword to help him die. |
