Tokugawa rise

(Do it do it do it)

Drop

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

Verse 1

Shogun sits and shuts the door

Sakoku seal on every shore

Farmers bow and swordsmen wait

Daimyo stack their rice and hate

Pre-Chorus

No one leaves

No one sails

No one breaks the painted rails

Chorus

Bakufu

Two hundred years of standing still

Bakufu

Bakufu

Wooden towns and iron will

Drop

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

Verse 2

Ukiyo prints and tea-house songs

Merchants climb where blood belongs

Ronin wander roads for pay

Fire watch bells at end of day

Pre-Chorus

Cedar beams

Cedar flames

Every city knows the names

Bridge

Spoken narration

Perry sails in eighteen fifty-three

Black ships break the silent sea

Treaties signed and gates unsealed

The old world kneels the new one's field

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

Kick the dirt and stomp the gate

(Stomp the gate)

(Stomp the gate)
