The English Samurai

William is the name you called me by

It isn't how they know me now

I was born to pilot and die on the open sea

It's now on land I'm laid to rest a samurai

Mary if you'll ever hear these words

Or find them written on my grave

Just know our love was not the first to be so cruelly torn

But I was our nation's only Samurai

The ocean got a hold of me

A sprinkling of destiny

The man you knew he died at sea

Now I'm the English Samurai

Mine was treacherous a journey love

Scores of men have died for me

Ships Loyalty, The Gospel, Faith, Love and Hope set sail

Only Hope remained to guide our Samurai

Send my love to dear Deliverance

Her father I can never be

Ieyasu keeps me here for fear of my own death

And I'm bound to be his loyal Samurai

The ocean got a hold of me

A sprinkling of destiny

The man you knew he died at sea

Now I'm the English Samurai

The ocean got a hold of me

A sprinkling of destiny

The man you knew he died at sea

Now I'm the English Samurai

The ocean got a hold of me

A sprinkling of destiny

The man you knew he died at sea

Now I'm the English Samurai
