The Massacre of Nanking
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the east over 70 years
Drew wicked winter storm
That the city in a distant land
Will never be known
Her name is strange to us
Nobody takes notice
It is not interesting
This operation of corpses
The massacre of Nanking
Evil, death, war, hate, blood, fire, burn
Rape, corpse, grave, slay, doom, die
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
Included from the outside world
Nobody hears your wretched pleas
Women twenty thousand in number
Suffered a disgraceful torment
Civilians two hundred thousand in number
Suffered a terrible death
There's no world for hope
Desecration of corpses
The massacre of Nanking
Evil, death, war, hate, blood, fire, burn
Rape, corpse, grave, slay, doom, die
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
Evil, death, war, hate, blood, fire, burn
Rape, corpse, grave, slay, doom, die
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
The massacre has begun
The red rising sun
The massacre in the east
The red rising beast
Red rising beast
