Far to the east ruled the Samurai, mystic warrior class,
Honorable brave, bark armoured man, donning hideous mask.
700 years of reigning Japan, the masters of attack,
Dominators of the isle of dragons, fearsom military caste.
In battle no prisoners for the enemy, noble self-sacrifice,
Crooked crowns sentenced to die, pay the bloody price.
Sacred rites held close by the fighters, no place for disgrace,
Taught to stand with dignity while staring in death's face.
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified,
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side.
Honor even in death, digrace is defied,
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride.
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified,
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side.
Honor even in death, digrace is defied,
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride.
Gracefully, with steady hand,
He takes the dagger that lays before him.
Collects his thoughts for the last time,
And plunges the dirge from left to right.
No sign of pain on his face,
With the final cut withdraws the blade.
Loyal companion by his side,
Lifts the sword to help him die.
Lightning flash, one swift blow,
Honor is done, warriors head rolls.
In a mans glory, his spirit is stored, his very being inside,
Dignity respected, courage is shown by his ritual suicide.
No room for dishonor in hari kari's dagger gashing side to side,
Under the rising sun the core is exposed, to reveal a new life.
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified,
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side.
Honor even in death, digrace is defied,
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride.
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified,
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side.
Honor even in death, digrace is defied,
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride.

Flotsam And Jetsam is killer all the way! Love that band! Testament Malpractice.

If you think that is good, you need to check out their first album, Doomsday For The Deceiver. Jason was still a member when they recorded that album, and was the main lyrics writer on that album. The production is a bit better that album, and the album got a remix for it's 20th Anniversary reissue which modernized the production a bit more. My recommendation is to go and buy the 20th anniversary special edition if their are copies still available. It contains both original mix and remix of the album, as well as two Demo recording that got the band signed to Metal Blade Records. This album is a must own album for any fan of Metal, and is my favorite Flotsam And Jetsam album.

[@michaelbohlman191]

Yup doomsday kills it. One the best 1st albums put out by a band

[@brianmauk5126]

What a great reaction to a great band. I actually went to school with these guys in Scottsdale Arizona. Even Jason Newstead, was local and in the neighborhood before he got plucked into Metallica! Fun times…

[@MrDjmercy]

One of the most underrated Bands dont know why ..excellent Band

[@Bonehead777]

Haha, your happy face. 😁 another underrated band.

[@larsrockit1532]

Flots till death! 🤘🏻

[@bananaman9226]

one of the best thrash albums ever man u gotta listen to it all

[@rotokid4820]

The best album they put out was Doomsday for the Deceiver. Jason Newsted wrote almost all of the songs on it and showed off the bass chops that got him the Metallica job. It was a waste when he went to Metallica and they would not let him write anything except a few small parts on later albums. After about thirty years I still listen to it regularly.

[@johntipeti4597]

i grew up on thrash when it came out now pushing 49yrs old i used to rewind that ballad section and repeat it over and over the other album is when the storm comes down which was my personal go to when i went to sleep at night

[@subdivisions70]

That has to be a top contender for most under appreciated thrash metal album of all time.

[@kl8455]

a shame they were not more well known. very talented band with an excellent singer. Escape from Within is another great track off this album.

[@rokkkrinn2793]

So glad you enjoyed it Ruben. I really hoped you would. The whole album is a masterpiece. They are contemporaries of Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and many others. Best tracks by album are Hammerhead, No Place For Disgrace, I Live You Die, Hard on You, The Master Sleeps, Suffer the Masses, Natural Enemies, Wading Through the Darkness, Pick a Window, Smoked Out, and so many others. Take a deep dive, my friend. You can't go wrong with any of these.

[@DarkArterialGore]

Dreams Of Death is a banger too.

[@rokkkrinn2793]

@@DarkArterialGore is like I said, the entire album is a masterpiece. Now, the album Dreams of Death is amazing too. As is The Cold, Flotsam and Jetsam, and The End of Chaos.

[@andrewawakened628]

Don't forget "Escape from Within" - great song, great lyrics dealing with a loved one on life support: Now kill the power...become... Partners of sin Alone in our decision to unlock the door Escape from within

[@erikrevier4053]

Awesome stuff! Never really got into these guys much, might be time to dive in. They remind me a lot of Overkill from this song. I hope they are just as good! Cheers Ruben!

[@dominich.9745]

If you like Newsted listen to Hammerhead,great bass line.By the way their last 3 records are great.Killer singer.

[@CryingZombie666]

Soldierhead from Newsted was great too :D

[@nigelfarage4119]

This Whole CD is Good! oops i deleted my comment Ruebn Lolz NEXT NON PATREON REACTION......---> WINDOWPANE BY OPETH!

[@jeroenkoster1366]

High quality thrash metal, check out their first 3 albums at least.

[@thomasbridges6177]

I dedicated this song to the Auburn Tiger because they were cheated by the referees and awarded the Virginia Cavaliers the win in the semi-final March Madness game. Auburn Tiger should have the ball back but the disgraceful referees gave the Virginia player three points chances on the free throw and hit all of three of them. Nevertheless, the game was ruined because of the disgraceful call. Perfect song for the Auburn teammates, coaches and fan to listen to so they can express their outrage anger and protest to the referees for a horrible calls.

[@ReaperKezia]

Man I haven't heard these guys in decades.. Listening to them now all I hear is how similar Rody Walker's voice (protest the hero) is compared to his

[@josephbaumberger8590]

Change of pace try Devastator / mighty trust krusher by Godflesh.

[@kratos9293]

jack the joker - venus and mars , please. Attempt #65.

[@markblaauw4961]

Wow! Old school trash. Lovely. The guitar tones have got similarities with old Metallica. Very nice. I once bought a CD of them with Suffer the Masses on it. The intro of that song

[@rokkkrinn2793]

When the storm comes down it's the album you're thinking of. Suffer the Masses is awesome!

[@markblaauw4961]

@@rokkkrinn2793 yes you're right. The music on that album is awesome, but I am a bit confused about the vocalist. On that album he sounds totally different then the song I just heard. I liked the sound of his voice on this one. At that album his voice sounds a bit silly imo.

[@rokkkrinn2793]

@@markblaauw4961 They were always trying different things. My buddy Mike hated it and gave it to me. I was getting into Primus and stuff like that and really appreciated the differences between No Place and Storm.

[@Huge4Fish]

I mean they are no Riphouse but they try lol
