Iron Maiden - Senjutsu lyrics

[Verse 1] Beat the warning the sound of the drums Set the beacons afire for them all Call to arms all the men far and wide Have to fight now for dynasty pride at stake The invaders repel from the north Keep out nomads who came from the plains Northern grasslands awash with them all Blocking the tribes that invade from the south of us [Chorus] Rallying round to the call We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums And they need everyone at the wall So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall [Verse 2] Survive on ledges bitten in dust Knowledge and virtue is stricken by lust Really believe that they're coming for us Dancing on graves of those who bled for us Driven away by our endless desire Defeat by anger and our greatest fire Attack again and try as they might Hold them again and see them running [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Rallying round to the call We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums And they need everyone at the wall So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall [Bridge 1] Hear them coming Ready now we wait Must be steadfast Must be patient Must believe in That we can win What will save us The great wall [Verse 3] Now under siege have the real strength to hold them now Have to believe that we can repel them Faith in the years our ancestors taught us Have the belief that we can protect the wall Try if they can we will overthrow them Fight to the last they can never own us Battle of wills we'll fight to the last man Honour our dead so they never fought in vain [Guitar Solo] [Bridge 2] Hold our fortune Avenge the merciful Hold the great wall Never fall again Arrows falling Dark oblivion Live in spirit Live to tell our sons [Chorus] Rallying round to the call We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums And they need everyone at the wall So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall [Guitar Solo]
