Blind Swordsman

Out of darkness
judgment falls
sword of justice
shattered walls
tyrants falling
flashing blade
peasants free now
debt is paid

Out walks the sightless man
Just his cane held in his hand
a drifting gambler all alone
ragged clothes-- he has no home

Chorus:
Out of darkness
judgment falls
sword of justice
shattered walls
tyrants falling
flashing blade
peasants free now
debt is paid

A town besieged by depravity
The magistrate steeped in vanity
the peasants bear the boss’s rule
the game is rigged, the odds are cruel

Zatoichi cannot turn away
the evil ones must be slain
now their judgment day is here
the town is free, the end of fear
