In the year 1701
A tale of honor begun
When Master Asano was slain
By Lord Kira, so they say
The news spread over the land
To the mighty warrior band
Disguised they wait for a year
Kira thinks there's nothing to fear
Charge into the castle
Find and slay Lord Kira
Charge into the castle
The Forty-Seven Ronin attack
One night when snow gently fell
Vengeance for the master
The drums are pounding in the night
Now engages a brutal fight
Charge into the castle
Find and slay Lord Kira
Charge into the castle
The Forty-Seven Ronin attack
Finally
The whistle blows
And Kira is killed
Vengeance is filled
Execution
By the way of honour
Buried next to their master
The Forty-Seven Ronin
Charge into the castle
Find and slay Lord Kira
Charge into the castle
The Forty-Seven Ronin attack
Now the forty-seven ronin sleep
