Lyrics straight from TBDM themselves:
A thousand swords will clash
Warfare our hab-it-at
Weak aside -- out-ward cast
The bushido way - to strongest passed
We musnt tolerate
Those who shant bear the traits
calm of mind - still of blade
may our cuts be swift throughout our days
Perfection in suicide
Morbid rites of the samurai
Absolutely for this war we are primed
We die with our pride
Bathed fed and dressed in white - ceremony self-sacrifice - the blade it sweeps from left to right -- summoning bowels -- so pink and bright -- unflinching stare transfixed -- honor in death - achiev-ed bliss -- a second sev-ers the head -- now swinging from a shred of flesh
A draining pen-dul-um
the neck it dan-gles from
sprays forth dis-hon-ored blood --
may death it cleanse -- all I have done
seppuku -- ancient rite --
permission (to) take my life
a sanctioned end of strife
spirit relieved -- in death redeemed
Perfection in suicide
Morbid rites of the samurai
Absolutely for this war we are primed
We die with our pride
Bathed fed and dressed in white - ceremony self-sacrifice - the blade it sweeps from left to right -- summoning bowels -- so pink and bright -- unflinching stare transfixed -- honor in death - achiev-ed bliss -- a second sev-ers the head -- now swinging from a shred of flesh
A shred of flesh!!!!!
Embrace the death!!!!
Penalty - your mere mortality
In an attempt - to reclaim thine lost glory
Our lips our sealed - by the long edged blades we wield
To disobey would be a sin
(SOLO)
Bathed fed and dressed in white - ceremony self-sacrifice - the blade it sweeps from left to right -- summoning bowels -- so pink and bright -- unflinching stare transfixed -- honor in death - achiev-ed bliss -- a second sev-ers the head -- now swinging from a shred of flesh
