The Rōnin Songtext
von Memoir Sonata

Through the names of brothers untold
In the mist and fog, he′s growing old
Wanders the fields with noble strides
In a time where the empire divides

His reign, lost with honor, lone he dies
Daimyo, the lord of the samurai

Oh, the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
A rōnin now hereby
Oh, the lonely samurai

A masqurade of long-forgotten men
At the rite of passage meet again
Guarding his sacred shrine
Through dark nights, the spirits will lead him
To dragon's fire long-awaiting


His reign, lost with honor, lone he dies
Daimyo, the lord of the samurai

Oh, the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
A rōnin now hereby
Oh, the lonely samurai

Flesh without a soul
Songbird without a voice
Silently walks the lonely path
Rōnin, the samurai

Oh, the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
A rōnin now hereby
Oh, the lonely samurai

Oh, the lonely samurai
Left alone, his world reduced to ash
Oh, the lonely samurai
Oh, the samurai
