Opening Theme / Safe Passage / Way of the Sword (From "The Last Samurai") - The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra

A heart born to beat into a warrior's chest Fixed his flag as an outcast Tested and proven by those of pure blood Five hundred honored horsemen Stand undefeated Death is in Bushido's sacrament Dishonor refused Redemption - no fear Keeper of the old ways Betrayed - deposed Renegade - stay strong And always respect the enemy Fight the fear until we die Close enough for sacrifice Came along from foreign lands Storm with steel and paint the fields In blood and tears honor prevails New laws will end the ancient times For the Last Samurai Arrows will fly as cannons explode Many will die as the new meets the old There is a new cycle growing fast coming in Warriors will stand, soldiers will kill There is no surrender - white flag or peace Your life given in glory Dishonor refused Redemption - no fear Keeper of the old ways Betrayed - deposed Renegade - stay strong And always respect the enemy Fight the fear until we die Close enough for sacrifice Came along from foreign lands Storm with steel and paint the fields In blood and tears honor prevails New laws will end the ancient times For the Last Samurai Fight the fear until we die Close enough for sacrifice Came along from foreign lands Storm with steel and paint the fields In blood and tears honor prevails New laws will end the ancient times For the Last Samurai For the Last Samurai
