Edo 江戸 by In Dreams of Reality Lyrics
Black ships land upon the shores of Nippon
Pride fear wealth will be the scourge of their island
All hail the mighty sun
Shining on our loved ones
All hail the mighty sun
Shining on us
Two hundred years passed
The tide never turned
Thrive with the flood
But parch with the ebb
In our lives
The price we will pay is high
There’s a choice today
Whether we look away
Or fight for a place to stay
Your choice has to be made
Can’t see a reason why should I change
Capture the heat, and the beat of your heart and
Take a deep look down inside your soul
And you all close your eyes
In front the lives that we take
Want to hold your paradise
Yeah until it breaks
But you can’t take it all
And just never give back
Cause one day they will come
With their greedy eyes
The black ships call
But if you look outside the box
Be sure we all will meet our gods
High culture our crown is but made of blood
Of what lies beyond our fortress of god
Just like bushi we put honour before law
With a righteous face our culture prevails
Until it breaks with the force of a gunshot
Thrive with the flood
But parch with the ebb
In our lives
The price we will pay is high
There’s a choice today
Whether we look away
Or fight for a place to stay
Your choice has to be made
Can’t see a reason why should I change
Capture the heat, and the beat of your heart and
Take a deep look down inside your soul
And you all close your eyes
In front the lives that we take
Want to hold your paradise
Yeah until it breaks
But you can’t take it all
And just never give back
Cause one day they will come
With their greedy eyes
Walk this way we only look at ourselves
Never share the heart of our nation
All hail the mighty sun
Shining on our loved ones
All hail the mighty sun
Shining on us
In our lives
The price we will pay is high
There’s a choice today
Whether we look away
Or fight for a place to stay
Your choice has to be made
Can’t see a reason why should I change
Capture the heat, and the beat of your heart and
Take a deep look down inside your soul
Pride fear wealth will be the scourge of their island
All hail the mighty sun
Shining on our loved ones
All hail the mighty sun
Shining on us
Two hundred years passed
The tide never turned
Thrive with the flood
But parch with the ebb
In our lives
The price we will pay is high
There’s a choice today
Whether we look away
Or fight for a place to stay
Your choice has to be made
Can’t see a reason why should I change
Capture the heat, and the beat of your heart and
Take a deep look down inside your soul
And you all close your eyes
In front the lives that we take
Want to hold your paradise
Yeah until it breaks
But you can’t take it all
And just never give back
Cause one day they will come
With their greedy eyes
The black ships call
But if you look outside the box
Be sure we all will meet our gods
High culture our crown is but made of blood
