I’m alive, still alive
Where is my mighty clan?
Now they lie a thousand men
Takeda is no more
Here on the field of Nagashino
Behind the lines
Seeing impotently a tragedy
A great defeat
I’m just a thief
Wiping tears from my eyes
Shadow warrior rise and fall!
Shadow warrior
Three years of life
In the court of the clan
An impersonator
Acting like a shadow
Takeda shingen
Truly conquered my heart
But I’m a double
Just a puppet on a string
Shadow warrior rise and fall!
Shadow warrior you’re alone
It’s so cold
When the night comes
Through the camp fires
During the siege
Mysterious flute fatal melody
Swift as the wind
Silent as a forest
Fierce as fire
Immovable he stands
As a mountain now moving on
Wave after wave of cavalry
Are cut down by volleys of matchlock fire
This is the end
A sad farewell takeda’s army
Is wiped out away
And so I lie forgotten and alone
An aimless life
No future for me the story ends
No place for me
I feel so sad the emptiness grows
A mere shadow of a dead man
I don’t know what will happen to me
And the days of glory are gone
Only memories are left
There’s no hope without our Lord
A sad farewell
And the banners are falling down
The four rumbles in the dust
It’s the end of Takeda’s clan
A sad farewell
