Samurai Night - Dan Bull

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, 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
