Assassin's Blade - League of the Divine Wind

Part I:

Can’t you see what’s happening?
Our ancient nation bleeds
Corrupted by the Western plague
Infested with their greed

The Light of Heaven cannot pierce through the clouds
The gods are leaving us

Champions of the Emperor
Loyal samurai
United to abolish evil
Before our nation dies

Our mission stands to redeem this tainted land
Our forsaken home
And bring an end to its vile misgovernment
To save the Sacred Throne

The Wind of the east – a change it will bring
To cleanse our land and end our suffering
Restoring the gods – and the false rule rescind
Ride with the League of the Divine Wind

Divine assistance favours us
The rite of the Ukei
Expel the Barbarians
Blood will flow this day

Rising up with the rising of the Sun
Our devotion shines
The blade of justice needs to flash but once
To show the way divine


Part II:

Charge…
Charge… of the Wind Divine
Charge…
Charge… of the Wind Divine
Into the valley of honour and death

We will purge away the evils of the west
The judgment is clear, the punishment is death

To strike…
In darkness…
With the sword…

Justice guides our hands, our thirsty blades drink deep
The coward traitors’ pleas, our ears will give no heed

To strike…
In darkness…
With the sword…

Charge…
Charge… of the Wind Divine
Charge…
Charge… of the Wind Divine
Into the valley of honour and death

No fear of death, we fight for His Majesty
Our Cause will end, the barbarians’ travesty

To strike…
In darkness…
With the sword…

Charge…
Charge… of the Wind Divine
Charge…
Charge… of the Wind Divine
Into the valley of honour and death

Many lives we’ve taken
And must take more still
But now they have awakened
To regroup, strike back and kill
Unholy Western guns they wield
Foul bullets take proud lives
So we will leave the battlefield
To die by our own knives

Solo: David

Part III:

Atop of this sacred mountain
I ponder the world below
Watching the setting sun
In its dying glow

No regrets, no admonitions
Except that we failed before we died

Cut through the clouds of heaven
Open a passage to the gods
Let them see that at least we tried…

I know there’s no other way
I long to feel the blade
Delivering me – into eternity
