Sengoku Jidai
Written by Daniel Barton
The thundering guns are quiet now
The clashing of steel long gone
The land is filled with silence now
As the god of war looks on
New heroes are on the rise
New challenges in store
The monkey servant lived his dream
And soon came to the fore
The one-eyed dragon roars its fury
The demon king wants war
The Tiger begins to circle its prey
And the devils scream for more
Now the crimson demon takes a stand
And soon his song is sung
But in the darkness lurks an assassin
The war of shadows has now begun
The god of war stops to weep
For soon the tiger lowers his head
He closes his eyes one last time
And, like the demon king, is dead
The monkey servant served him well
That fallen demon king
And on a land made for honour and justice
Vengeance is a certain thing
The one-eyed dragon scours the land
Its fury now unleashed
The game of war is changing
And now it’s time to feast
The land has now gone quite
There’s joy in this brand new spring
For the monkey servant no longer bows
He is now the rightful king
But not all things last
It has many times been said
For soon the land is again drenched in blood
For now the monkey king is dead
But now another warrior is on the rise
And for his assassin does he send
It’s time for peace now he cries
This war of shadows must end
The assassin says nothing
For there’s nothing to say
Only death awaits
At the end of the day
And so, like a song that’s been sung
This battle, like a game, has been won
A new servant is king, the first Shogun has come
A new day begins, in the Land of the Rising Sun
