lyrics

Never failed to draw a crowd
Whispers followed his wake
No one could believe the sight
Of the man who walked through that day
No one in the town
Had seen anything like him

A month into his service
In the night there was an attack
His master had been killed
So he took up his blade
And went with the king's son
Went out to claim his revenge

Word had come that he'd fallen
It couldn't be believed
Especially after the news
Of a mystery gunman
Matching the warrior's description
For Yasuke survived
