lyrics

Verse 1:
(Ash) Under the crimson blood-red skies reigns a hero’s heart of fire
Burning inside is the will of the samurai
And all the demons quake with fear to his ignited atmosphere
With freedom and glory at his side, he marches forward towards the light
(Musical Interlude)
Pre-Chorus:
(Isza) Behold, he draws his blade at night
His steel--sharp as a dragon’s bite
His foes heed to his broken cries
He lets his sword be his guide
Chorus:
(Both) Samurai, samurai, your blade rips through the sky
Ride the heavens united with your raiju hailed from space
And with honor and grace, all the danger that you face is now a memory that lives inside you
(Ash) Fight on, samurai!
(Both) Woh-oh oh oh, (Ash) Samurai!
(Musical Intro repeated)
Verse 2:
(Ash) Valiant and chivalrous is he, his spirit shall live on in thee
Forever and ever, he battles til the very end
And what protects him all his days? What can set thine heart ablaze?
The glorious craft you draw is your companion and your only friend
(Musical Interlude)
Pre-Chorus 2:
(Isza) Come and rise, your victory awaits
History will have your name engraved
Close your eyes and feel your inner ki
The fire in your soul makes demons flee
(Repeat Chorus)
Post-Chorus:
(Both) Ye-eah, ye-eah, ye-eah, ye-eah, ye-eah
Ye-eah, woh-oh, woh-oh, (Ash) Samurai!
(Guitar Interlude)
Narration (Titan):
“Makoto Yashida!
Today you are a warrior, but you shall become my champion!
Today you are a hero, but you shall become a legend!
Go forth to the planet Nexus on your mighty Raiju
There, you shall forge Kusanagi, a new blade from the light of a burning star
And lead the Nexora against the demon scourge to freedom & glory!
This is thy destiny!”
(Keytar Solo/Guitar Solo)
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
(Repeat Post-Chorus)
