Discover the story of the song > Shiroyama – Sabaton

The song talks about how as time passes, new ways replace old ways, even if it means the end of ancient traditions. This is shown through the story of a group of samurai who, despite being greatly outnumbered and facing new technologies like guns, choose to fight with honor and uphold their ancient code of Bushido until the very end. In the end, all of the samurai die, and the old culture is undone, but they died with dignity and honor.
