From the recording The Mentor & Disciple - 2012
Lyrics
ROCK THE ERA (Walsh)
Shakyamuni at the castle wall
Freaking out at everything he saw
Pain and suffering beyond imagination
Shakyamuni at the bodhi tree
When his desires set him free
He vowed to save the world with his revelation
CHORUS
Let’s Rock, the Era
Let’s Rock, the Era
Ah, Ah
Rock the Era with your life!
When the kids were goofing off at school
Nichiren could never play the fool
He was betting my life on the Lotus Sutra
When the meteor crossed the sky
Shijo Kingo started to cry
I said grab a tissue please for the Samurai
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Ever since World War II
Bombs are pointing at me and you
In the 99th Century
What will they say about you and me?
CHORUS
