Hammerfall - Bushido Lyrics






Screaming and twisting
He's pounding his sword to the ground
A soul made of fire
A heart made of solid steel, fear the sound

Guided by courage
The fear of eternal disgrace
The spirits of daring
The trail of his life brought fail to embrace

Trapped in the corner, hell or paradise
Forever failure or self-sacrifice

I'M A WARRIOR, I AM
In the rising sun I stand
MY TRUE COLOURS SHINING BRIGHT
INSIDE AEONIAN FLAMES

Winding and turning
He's seeking a path to survive
The hunter's the hunted
The spectre within will soon come alive

The spirit of bearing by seven diverges unite
Never surrender, be ready to kill
When killing is right

Shame and dishonor, the wrath of the sword
Beyond all bearings, the honor restored

I'M A WARRIOR, I AM
In the rising sun I stand
MY TRUE COLOURS SHINING BRIGHT
INSIDE AEONIAN FLAMES

I'M A WARRIOR, I AM
I'm a soldier under command
IN THE SETTING SUN I'LL CARRY ON
The code of the warrior soul

Honour, courage and rectitude
Tempered by ancient wisdom
One law, one life in solitude
Live by the code, die by the sword

I'M A WARRIOR, I AM
IN THE RISING SUN I STAND
MY TRUE COLOURS SHINING BRIGHT
INSIDE AEONIAN FLAMES

I'M A WARRIOR, I AM
In the rising sun I stand
MY TRUE COLOURS SHINING BRIGHT
INSIDE AEONIAN FLAMES

I'M A WARRIOR, I AM
I'm a soldier under command
IN THE SETTING SUN I'LL CARRY ON
The code of the warrior soul

This is the way!

    Or make better friends. Some people just don't respect enough to stop pushing stuff that would affect health. Makes you feel cold having to keep saying it over and over. Lol soon a warrior will have to find another warriors path somewhere.

  35. D.... H....

    I dont like the samurai or bushido that much, but this song makes me like them mor

  36. h.... ....

    they knew the way before it was cool. legends

  37. l.... r....

    Miyamoto Musashi would be proud!

  38. d.... h....

    Amo está puta canción

  39. B.... ....

    It's funny how everyone here is speaking about honor but where is this honor these days?
    Your best friends sleep with your gf, other friends are always there when you got something but once you need help they're all busy.
    And then everyone is talking about "fight the sword and die by it" but not even man enough for a normal street fight.. xD
    Yaya the internet is a funny thing these days.

    B.... ....

    My thoughts exactly...

    B.... ....

    Thats sad and make the song a bit less enjoable to listen, but unfortunately it is true

    B.... ....

    We have become civilized. Back about 160 years ago,part of a gentleman's education was learning to use a sword. And dueling over stuff like sleeping with someone else's girlfriend was met in trial by combat.

    At first you tried to settle it,without a duel. But if a duel was due,he had better show up or he would be slammed as a coward.

    B.... ....

    I broke both jawbones of copsmen disgracing me in front of my partners, So there Is honor homeboy. You are obviously not a strong And if your gf fucks a side, then you need to wake yourself and clean Up that mess. But no. You rather whine in comments under good songs. It Is you boyo, get it, right? What you display, i never lived. Weak fool you are so be real like Madrid

    Honor, courage and rectitude

  43. l.... b....

    DIGNIFIED

  44. P.... H....

    Why are people commenting on "sabaton is better" "hammerfall is better" etc? They're both equally as good as each other and this song is badass enough said. Live by the code, die by the sword.

    P.... H....

    Peter Hatton seriously? I like Hammerfall, but Sabaton is way out of his league.. The stories, the deep voice, instrumental... Sabaton is the Chosen One.

    P.... H....

    *Hold my Bismarck

  45. G.... S....

    Comparing 'Bushido' to 'Shiroyama'

    G.... S....

    same , both are great tho

    G.... S....

    erm wasn't Bushudo the leader of the 500 samurai from shiroyama?

    G.... S....

    @Far Away no shiroyama is were the battle was fought the leader of the samurai was Saigo takamori and Bushido is a code of conduct that samurai follow.

    G.... S....

    @judy hills oh ok thanks

    G.... S....

    @Far Away Bushido or "Way of the warrior", was the rather strict honour code the samurai followed.

  46. M.... H....

    3:12 samurai thor

  47. B.... ....

    So much power and passion in that last chorus. I don't know which god Joacim slayed to get that voice, but I will never not be envious.

    Also that throwback to Way of the Warrior at the end. Perfect way to wrap up.

  48. V.... S....

    That's it i am returning myself to the samurai way of life at all cost.

  49. B.... S....

  60. C.... R....

    Seven virtues reunite - this is the way !!!

  61. B.... R....

    Itd make sense if Part two of this song is shiroyama by sabaton

  62. G.... P....

    Discount sabaton...

    G.... P....

    They both have equal skill

  63. n.... d....

    I like how this vid is categoriesed as vehicles and cars xD

  65. G.... S....

    Raise a fist for me and I will send you home in glory!

    Raise a fist against me and I will send you home gorey.

    Thus is the law of conquerors.

  76. T.... 9....

    Shiroyama

  77. r.... ....

    Hammerfall's other tracks don't have shit on Bushido.

  78. L.... T....

    Did this remind anyone else of the anime Hakouki?

  79. D.... ....

    i feel bad about this code of a warrior bc i kind like being in disaventage, when the honor its lost, when survive its the only way and my oponent panic, trick, and cheat to win, its when i feel truly worthy of taking his life

    D.... ....

    bushido is code of honor just like chivarly one,and none had restrictions on shields and firearms(shields in Japan,they existed,but they were mounted on arm,they were very wide pauldrons because of weak bows that existed in Japan,were weak enough that samurai armour(weight around plate armour) stopped them,but there were few weakspots covered with pauldrons,firearms,battle of nagashino,Oda Nobunaga,Saigo,btw Saurai armour was made to do not restrict movements for archers,you can just tie or untie pauldron,and samurais liked bows and polearms so no sword spam,but spears and naginatas,bows and firearms,so if they kill from thedistance there is no dishonour in taking better tool for killing from the distance)

    D.... ....

    what i mean was, i used to like the code of honor and being chilvary but them i felt what true desperation feels like, it was .... terrifying.... but at the same time change my life completely at the point of make me the bad guy, i want others to experience it, i want people to reach their best without the limitation of a code or caring about other thing than their own life... I WANT A RIVAL, someone to compare, someone to compite.....

  80. J.... B....

    Came for the Samwise, stayed for the music.

  81. P.... R....

    But what can a samurai do, when THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE?

    P.... R....

    Die by the sword.

    P.... R....

    They will make Last Stand, and, if they want to win, resort to Strike of the Ninja.

    P.... R....

    @Сергей Ситников don't you dare bring DF in this

    P.... R....

    No they stand and fight

    P.... R....

    @te Dark Enforcers or maybe they won't
    you know the samurai knoe what honor is

  82. R.... ....

    This song is amazing, am I the only one who thinks when he sings the verses he sounds like Rush and when he sings the chorus he sounds like Dragonforce?

  83. M.... K....

    THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!

    Epic music. Hail the Tokugawa shogunate

    L.... S....

    @Wojszach Also their samurai were nothing more then glorified tax-collectors. Hail the Sgengoku-period Samurai!

    L.... S....

    @Christian Holzschuh more like nobility, just like knights in europe

    L.... S....

    @Wojszach Hagakure is filed with complaints about the young Samurai loosing their warrior spirit, them try to be smart or engaging even in haiku.


    I don't think a Samurai of the edo period is cmpairable to one from sengoku. One of them would have ended shot dead with a arkebuse, if they ever fought...

    L.... S....

    @Wojszach Could it be that you are talking about Samurai in general, whilest I just talk trash about Edo-period Samurai?

    I mean, I, personally, am a little bit disapointet with japanese pop-culture. Or japanes pop-culture of that time. The whole making more of the katana then it really was thing that happended during the tokugawa shogunate.

    To grow up with these things. With that formality of honor - that really could not stand the test of time.

    It all broke when Perry came with his black ships.

    And it didn't exist beforehand, when the samurai fought each other in a time when Japan had more guns then Europe combined. And they used spears and bows in the battles of the sengoku period.

    And all that concept of honor the japanese popculture blew up.

    And I read hagakure. And hagakure isn't about honor. It's about throwing that little honor you have left away in order to serve your Lord.

    And I was a little bit disappointed. The storys I knew were about the personal honor of a Samurai. About his strife and his fights. But Hagakure was much more awsome. It's about being selfless to the grind of your teeth, just to see your master florish.

    That's in my mind what seperates Sengoku from Edo.

    Also, I am sorry for my english. I'm from Austria... maybe not every word is correct and I am pretty shure it all sounds strange. I can't stop thinking in German... and, well... I guess my word order shows that.

    L.... S....

    @Christian Holzschuh im just talking about them in general, that they were equivalent of knights with diffrent moral code(like it;s unhonorable to kill farmers unless daimio says so,mthen its most honorable thing to do and other cultural diffrences like that) it might be that Edo period nobility went into degeneracy like you say, i wouldn't be suprised anyway

  86. K.... o....

    What is your life?
    My honour is my life.
    What is your fate?
    My duty is my fate.
    What is your fear?
    My fear is to fail.
    What is your reward?
    My salvation is my reward.
    What is your craft?
    My craft is death.
    What is your pledge?
    My pledge is eternal service

    GLORY FOR THE EMPEROR!

  92. C.... C....

    They should use this song for the end of season 5 of Samurai Jack

  93. C.... N....

    nice lyrics but song is medicore

  94. A.... F....

    Who is Bushido?

    A.... F....

    its the ancient code of warriors/samaurai.

    A.... F....

    bushido is code of warrior,same level as chivarly in europe,and no restriction on sheilds or firearms

    A.... F....

    Bushido actually means "Way of the warrior" and it's the code that the samurai were following. You could compare it to some extent to the code of the western knights. But it was more a bunch of rules you have to follow than a guideline

    A.... F....

    Asking for the "who": There's also a German rapper called Bushido. But he has nothing to do with samurais and there morals or what so ever.

    A.... F....

    dante 7894 Bushi 武士 means warrior and do 土 means way. Kage 影 would be shadow. Kage like for example the Ho-kage (fire shadow) from Naruto, just to make it easier to remember.

  95. B.... R....

    Perfect song and video! Thankyou very much!

  96. B.... B....

    This has me converted to subscribe, rare for me to subscribe to a music channel. A FIRST. keep up the good lyrics.
    thanks.

  97. W.... ....

    So: why Samurai didn't used shields? 1 mostly they were archers(btw firearms were no problem for them) 2 no need,low penetration bows made them to wear wide armlet. 2 about katana myth,well mostly it was a secondary weapon and they preffered naginata or spear(if they didn't used bows). and well samurai is just a knight(with Japanse type of thinking...so...)-source Metatron(you can find him on yt) and song...hm...good one

    W.... ....

    in 39 one of germans made mistake and with transport of enigma one of these went to poland so before giving machine back they wrote technical documentation to recreate this machine in 1929. Henryk Zygalski,Jeży Różyck and Marian Rejewski,these 3 briliang polish mathematictians were able to broke enigma codes,and made cryphologic bomb(few merged enigmas) with French help they recieved enigma instructions and code because they couldn't do that and resigned. in december of 1932 they decoded frist message. and for 6 years it worked because of cyclometer but in 38 germans were changing codes more often than usually they did. Henryk zygalski invented Zygalski sheets. Cryptologic bomb,few merged enigmas were able to check over a dozen thousands of combinations in 2 hours. near begining of the war they hadn't enough budget to continue research so they sended this to western allies. in 1999 Britian acknowledged that Poles broke enigma frist

    W.... ....

    Wojszach you do realise that the samurai refused to change and DIDNT use firearms

    W.... ....

    oh really? then how you explain for example Saigo,man that made rebelion that the last samurai made very not accurate movie about,he wanted reformation,much better equipment and he made rebelion to prevent samurai class from being abolished? or in Sengoku jidai,Oda Nobunaga, he showed how this type of weapons was capable of,and he was a samurai

    W.... ....

    and what is your source?
