Behind the veiling fan
there’s a promise to be told
Crack the code and understand,
you will never grow old
He looked to the rising sun
for fortune and fame
But soon he had to run
A losing power game
Samurai of the 20th century
Tyrants in Tokyo
Aged masters
Cold as ice
Down and out he found himself
on the wrong side of the law
From those he sought for help
more ire he would draw
They didn’t take to his
philandering ways
One too much of a local miss
and the smugness on his face
Yakuza
An agreement signed in blood
Tyrants in Tokyo
Aged masters
Cold as ice
Tyrants with an iron heart
Masters
And so he dies
Help the weak and fight the strong
Leaders abandon tradition
Vainly defending position
One finger turns to a hand
Then to the life of a man
Behind the veiling fan
was a promise to be told
Crack the code and understand,
you will never grow old
He looked to the rising sun
for fortune and fame
Straight down the barrel of a gun
and a bullet with his name
Samurai of the 20th century
still rule the underworld as
Tyrants in Tokyo
Aged masters
Hard as a rock
Tyrants with an iron heart
Masters
And so he dies
