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

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker
