Kagemusha
You know the master’s banner.
What do the letters mean?
Swift as the wind. Quiet as a forest.
Fierce as fire. Immovable as a mountain.
The lord is that mountain.
Both in battle and at home,
he is steadfast, like a mountain.
When his army moves,
first, the horsemen attack as fast as the wind.
Second, the lancers advance quiet as a forest.
Third, the cavalry raids mercilessly as fire.
And the lord is behind them,
always watching over them,
immovable as a mountain.
That is why our soldiers
can fight so strongly.
Immovable as a mountain.
The lord is that mountain.
So we call him the mountain.
