Stone Walls Of Hakata

Winds howl, waves split
Stone to test rivals' grit
Foes' quest shall end
Blood shall run through the sand.

Steel gates, stone seals
Crushing hulls, breaking keels
Sword, spear, oar, sail
None endure, none prevail.

Red sun, white sky
Time has come war is nigh
Walls rise, tide shifts
Far away shades of ships.

White sky, red sun
Turn your ships, hide and run!
Come here unasked
Stone shall break you to the last.

Ships' shades draw near
Raise your flag, hold your spear!
War bows strung tight
Shields to pierce, foes to smite.

Spare them no more
Hachiman, god of war!
Crush and accoy
Send your winds to destroy.

For those who fell
Blood of foes grief shall quell.
Mourner's bell rings
Death in war glory brings.

Blades gleam, flags soar
Death awaits on this shore
Hosts pay blood toll
Come uncalled and you shall fall.
