Legends of Yamato Takeru

[Verse 1]
Silver peaks divide the sky
Winds are whispering through the tall grass
Walking far where the wild roads lie
Iron held within a gentle grasp
Imperial shadows lengthen
Spirit grows in the stillness

[Pre-Chorus]
Mountain storms will bow
Ocean tides retreat now
The emperor gave the word
Destiny is clearly heard

[Chorus]
Yamato Takeru
Warrior of the sun
Yamato Takeru
The long journey has begun
Brave and righteous soul
Yamato Takeru

[Verse 2]
Dust will rise beneath his feet
Through the fire and the river
He would never know retreat
Life is but a holy gift to deliver
Duty guides the hand
For the honor of this land

[Pre-Chorus]
Mountain storms will bow
Ocean tides retreat now
The emperor gave the word
Destiny is clearly heard

[Chorus]
Yamato Takeru
Warrior of the sun
Yamato Takeru
The long journey has begun
Brave and righteous soul
Yamato Takeru

[Bridge]
Softly singing strings
Memory is all it brings
Hero turned to white bird flying
Sacrifice is never dying

[Chorus]
Yamato Takeru
Warrior of the sun
Yamato Takeru
The long journey has begun
Brave and righteous soul
Yamato Takeru

[Post-Chorus]
Yamato Takeru
Yamato Takeru
Honor
Forever
