Walking Through Tokyo Lyrics
Chorus
Walking through Tokyo
Visions of the Samurai
Walking through Tokyo
Looking through the dragon¹s eye
I had a dream about the mighty shogun
Faded visions of the Samurai
Mist of silk reflections of the city
Dance across the silver blade
Silent temples driving my emotions
Voices whisper from another time
Mystic dreams stretching out before me
Take me through the dragon¹s eye
Chorus
I¹m drifting slowly on the winds of Kamikaze
To the emperor on wings of gold
Cryptic lessons from a long forgotten city
Guard the passage to the inner soul
Sacred pountains reaching to the heavens
Holds the secret in its frozen hand
Standing proud silent and majestic
Cast its spell far across the land
Chorus
Guitar solo
In my dream I can see the darkness
Draws the veil across the painted sky
As the Geisha gives on dying pleasure
I leave the magic in the land of jade
Chorus repeat
Walking through Tokyo
Visions of the Samurai
Walking through Tokyo
Looking through the dragon¹s eye
Faded visions of the Samurai
Mist of silk reflections of the city
Dance across the silver blade
Silent temples driving my emotions
Voices whisper from another time
Mystic dreams stretching out before me
Take me through the dragon¹s eye
To the emperor on wings of gold
Cryptic lessons from a long forgotten city
Guard the passage to the inner soul
Sacred pountains reaching to the heavens
Holds the secret in its frozen hand
Standing proud silent and majestic
Cast its spell far across the land
Guitar solo
Draws the veil across the painted sky
As the Geisha gives on dying pleasure
I leave the magic in the land of jade
