metal de facto - 47 ronin lyrics

a young daimyo defending his honor attacked a powerful courtier
in the imperial court after repeated insults…
as a punishment for this he was sentenced to commit seppuku
leaving his 47 retainers masterless ronin

some stories must be told the way we did before
hidden secrets, lies and treasons

we know your time has come, our vengeance has begun
we’re in business, ready and fearless

the ronin held their vengeance for a year
never showing a sign that they would avenge their lord
for their inaction they were scorned by people
but one night they finally acted…

you did know all our plans
guards and shields, walls and traps
everywhere, all around
think you’re safe, hiding out

no matter how long, no matter how far
your time has come, there’s nowhere to run

it won’t be here and now
may the gods calm us down
we shall wait a thousand nights
we shall wait… you must die
no matter how long, no matter how far
your time has come, there’s nowhere to run

hide in the darkness, now you will harvest
all the hate you sowed
legends will tell our story, but we don’t claim that glory
rather than avenge our daimyo

our tradition drives our mission
we must avenge our lord
as samurais, we live our lives
ruled within our code, ruled within our code

we all know the price we must pay, all of us will just obey
samurais will worship our graves, there’s no other way

we fight together, united as one
purity and honour can’t be overcome

after they had extracted their vengeance upon the courtier
they knew that they must atone for their action by giving their own lives
thus they began their ride to the sengaku+ji temple
people who had scorned them, begged for their forgiveness
as they had proven their honor and shown valor by slaying the corrupted courtier
who insulted their master
we fight together, united as one
purity and honour can’t be overcome

there in the sengaku+ji temple they restored
their honor and committed seppuku
now they sleep with their avenged master in the hallowed grounds
of the sengaku+ji temple

“more than the cherry blossoms, inviting a wind to blow them away
i am wondering what to do, with the remaining springtime.”
