No Place for Disgrace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Far to the east ruled the Samurai, mystic warrior class Honorable brave, dark armored man, donning hideous mask 700 years of reigning Japan, the masters of attack Dominators of the isle of dragons, fearsome military caste [Verse 2] In battle, no prisoners for the enemy, noble self-sacrifice Crooked crowns sentenced to die, pay the bloody price Sacred rites held close by the fighters, no place for disgrace Taught to stand with dignity while staring in death's face [Chorus] (Honor even in death) Soldiers glorified (The dagger plunges deep) Slashes side to side (Honor even in death) Disgrace is defied (The end, they never fear) Give their life before their (Honor even in death) Soldiers glorified (The dagger plunges deep) Slashes side to side (Honor even in death) Disgrace is defied (The end, they never fear) Give their life before their pride [Bridge] Gracefully, with steady hand He takes the dagger that lays before him Collects his thoughts for the last time And plunges the dirk from left to right No sign of pain on his face With the final cut withdraws the blade Loyal companion by his side Lifts the sword to help him die Lightning flash, one swift blow Honor is done, warriors head rolls [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] In a mans glory, his spirit is stored, his very being inside Dignity respected, courage is shown by this ritual suicide No room for dishonor in hari-kari's dagger gashing side to side Under the rising sun, the core is exposed to reveal a new life [Chorus] (Honor even in death) Soldiers glorified (The dagger plunges deep) Slashes side to side (Honor even in death) Disgrace is defied (The end, they never fear) Give their life before their (Honor even in death) Soldiers glorified (The dagger plunges deep) Slashes side to side (Honor even in death) Disgrace is defied (The end, they never fear) Give their life before their pride
