Over deze songtekst:
Shiroyama gaat over de strijd tussen het leger (30.000 man) van de Japanse keizer en de samurai (= de elite soldaten) (500 man) van Satsuma. Satsuma was een gebied ver in het zuid-westen van Japan. Daar werd de Japanse keizer niet erkend. Het lied gaat over het laatste gevecht dat plaats vond in 1877. Satsuma werd definitief verslagen, met andere woorden de keizer won en breidde hiermee zijn machtsgebied uit. De plek waar dit plaats vond heette Shiroyama.
It's the nature of time That the old ways must give in It's the nature of time That the new ways comes in sin When the new meets the old It always end the ancient ways And as history told The old ways go out in a blaze Encircled by a vulture The end of ancient culture The dawn of destiny draws near Imperial force defied, facing 500 samurai Surrounded and outnumbered 60 to 1, the sword face the gun Bushido dignified It's the last stand of the samurai Surrounded and outnumbered As a new age begins The way of the warrior comes to an end As a new age begins The ways of the old must apprehend It's the nature of time That the old ways must give in It's the nature of time That the new ways comes in sin An offer of surrender Saigo ignore contender The dawn of destiny is here Imperial force defied, facing 500 samurai Surrounded and outnumbered 60 to 1, the sword face the gun Bushido dignified It's the last stand of the samurai Surrounded and outnumbered Until the dawn they hold on Only 40 are left at the end None alive, none survive Shiroyama Imperial force defied, facing 500 samurai Surrounded and outnumbered 60 to 1, the sword face the gun Bushido dignified It's the last stand of the samurai Surrounded and outnumbered 60 to 1, facing the gun 60 to 1, culture undone
