Would you believe that a man could be
As great as kubilai khan
Who ruled and governed a dynasty
As nobody else could have done?
He built and gathered a massive force
Of ships as strong as you'd find
The grandest fleet in the history of mankind
You should have seen kubilai khan
He was a God, he was second to none
He set out to conquer the rising sun
Such was the great kubilai khan
What does it take for a God to see
That he's no more than a man?
Does it demand a grand defeat
By forces he can't understand?
Twice, he challenged the samurai
Twice, the wind brought him down
'Til finally he had to give up on mighty japan
You should have seen kubilai khan
He was a God, he was second to none
His fleet was demolished, his force undone
So much for the great kubilai khan
The wind of the gods brought them down
The wind of the gods drove them out
The wind of the gods made them see
This land is forever free
Kubilai, you were a foolish man
You sent river boats to invade japan
Pride made you rush to prove your might
The wind of the gods would set you right
Hakata bay stood poud and firm
The wind of the gods would make you learn
You should have seen kubilai khan
He was a God, he was second to none
But all of his power was not enough
Such was the great kubilai khan
For he was a man, never truly a God
And all that he conquered was wrecks and blood
So much for the great kubilai khan
He was the great kubilai khan
