Nightstryke - The Story of the Forty Seven Ronin Lyrics

In the year 1701
A tale of honor begun
When Master Asano was slain
By Lord Kira, so they say

The news spread over the land
To the mighty warrior band
Disguised they wait for a year
Kira thinks there's nothing to fear

Charge into the castle
Find and slay Lord Kira
Charge into the castle
The Forty-Seven Ronin attack

One night when snow gently fell
Vengeance for the master
The drums are pounding in the night
Now engages a brutal fight

Charge into the castle
Find and slay Lord Kira
Charge into the castle
The Forty-Seven Ronin attack

Finally
The whistle blows
And Kira is killed
Vengeance is filled

Execution
By the way of honour
Buried next to their master
The Forty-Seven Ronin

Charge into the castle
Find and slay Lord Kira
Charge into the castle
The Forty-Seven Ronin attack

Now the forty-seven ronin sleep
