1909 Lyrics

October 26, 1909
at Harbing station
with steady hands on a loaded gun
on the tracks between the cars
polarized and pulled apart
shaking in my shoes
waiting here for you

oppression and control
taking over some working stars
the rising sun
with steady hands on a loaded gun
a hero of the underground
a villain in another town
you jumped out between the cars
shooting like a star

I believe these may be the correct lyrics, it's definetly Harbing station, as this is where the actual assassination took place that the song is based upon. The other edit, I'm not 100% sure about, but its what I hear:

October 26, 1909 at Harbing station with steady hands on a loaded gun on the tracks between the cars polarized and pulled apart shaking in my shoes waiting here for you

oppression and control taking over some working stars the rising sun with steady hands on a loaded gun a hero of the underground a villain in another town you jumped out between the cars shooting like a star

Actually, Ahn Jung-Geun assassinated Ito Hirobumi at the Harbin, Manchuria, train station, not Harbing.

@Joshoewaa It's definitely Harbin station, not Harbing, where Ito Hirobumi was assassinated. But otherwise, I agree, those lyrics look correct.
