Joshitai Lyrics by Frantic Amber

Bellatrix

2019

[Verse 1]
Aizu stands to fall on the losing side of the Boshin war
The tragic end of samurai
Bring forth the steel
We shall defend and protect with honour fierce
For this is the end
Mother and sister standing by my side
My naginata ready to cleave
[Chorus]
Jōshitai, we fight and die
Over capture, slavery, and rape
Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die
Don't be taken alive
[Post-Chorus]
Yūko, decapitate me
Bury my head, hidden deep
[Verse 2]
The gates of Wakamatsu Castle close
Shielding the occupants inside
They tremble in fear of the Imperials
A suicide mission is what they said
We attack near the Bridge of Tears
Head on and without fear
Fighting like a demon possessed
But even demons can't fight forever
[Chorus]
Jōshitai, we fight and die
Over capture, slavery, and rape
Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die
Don't be taken alive
[Post-Chorus]
Yūko, decapitate me
Bury my head, hidden deep
[Bridge]
I'm hit, a bullet fatal
Death approaching so quickly
[Chorus]
Jōshitai, we fight and die
Over capture, slavery, and rape
Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die
Do not be taken alive
[Post-Chorus]
Yūko, you beheaded me
Hid my head, buried deep
