Battle of Shiroyama Order 66
Su'cuy! Vode
As you probably know if no, now you know :) except
Star Wars I’m a big fan of metal music and Sabaton is one of my favourite. Guys
from this band are totally crazy about history. Lots of their songs have a
“war” theme. Last time when I’ve been listening song called “Shiroyama”, I had
an idea: transform text of this song from “war” theme to “Star Wars” theme.
Ok, now you need some explanation, so let’s start.
The song is about The Battle of Shiroyama (城山の戦い Shiroyama no tatakai)

Someone can ask about connection between Star Wars and
Shiroyama.
First of all, you need to know about Order 66.

| Clone Comander Cody |
Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was one of
a series of contingency orders that the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the
Republic were trained to obey without hesitation. The order branded members of
the Jedi Order as traitors to the Republic and called for their immediate
execution without question or hesitation. The issuing of the order by Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine marked the formal beginning of the Great Jedi Purge, and
signified the rise of the Galactic Empire. It was chief among the atrocities
that led to the Galactic Civil War.
Almost all the Jedi were killed by Order 66, and most
of the survivors were killed in the Great Jedi Purge that followed.
Well you see connect between? In Star Wars universe we
have Jedi btw first concept Jedi based on mixing Japanese Samurai and Shaolin
Monks, in our universe we have Japanese Samurai. Both ancient culture, warriors
and philosophers in the same time, with tradition and long history.
Both must have fought against modern army which had
outnumber, and both defeated.
Here you have original version of “Shiroyama”:
It's the nature of time
That the old ways must give in
It's the nature of time
That the new ways comes in sin
When the new meets the old
It always end the ancient ways
And as history told
The old ways go out in a blaze
Encircled by a vulture
The end of ancient culture
The dawn of destiny draws near
Imperial force defied, facing 500
samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified
It's the last stand of the
samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
As a new age begins
The way of the warrior comes to
an end
As a new age begins
The ways of the old must
apprehend
It's the nature of time
That the old ways must give in
It's the nature of time
That the new ways comes in sin
An offer of surrender
Saigo ignore contender
The dawn of destiny is here
Imperial force defied, facing 500
samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified
It's the last stand of the
samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
Until the dawn they hold on
Only 40 are left at the end
None alive, none survive
Shiroyama
Imperial force defied, facing 500
samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the sword face the gun
Bushido dignified
It's the last stand of the
samurai
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1, facing the gun
60 to 1, culture undone
And now here is my version:
It's the nature of Force
That the Jedi ways must give in
It's the nature of Force
That the Empire comes in sin
When the new meets the old
It always end the ancient ways
And as history told
The old ways go out in a blaze
Encircled by a vulture
The end of Jedi culture
The dawn of destiny draws near
Imperial force defied, facing 10,000
Jedi knights
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the lightsaber face the blaster
Jedi’s code dignified
It's the last stand of the Jedi
Surrounded and outnumbered
As an Empire age begins
The way of the Jedi comes to an
end
As an Empire age begins
The ways of the Jedi must
apprehend
It's the nature of time
That the old ways must give in
It's the nature of time
That the Empire comes in sin
An offer of surrender
Jedi ignore contender
The dawn of destiny is here
Imperial force defied, facing 10,000
Jedi knights
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the lightsaber face the
blaster
Jedi’s code dignified
It's the last stand of the Jedi
Surrounded and outnumbered
Until the dawn they hold on
Only 40 are left at the end
None alive, none survive
Coruscant
Imperial force defied, facing 10,000
Jedi knights
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1 the lightsaber face the blaster
Jedi’s code dignified
It's the last stand of the Jedi
knights
Surrounded and outnumbered
60 to 1, facing the blaster
60 to 1, culture undone
