In the Dark Of the Night
(Shishio's Revenge)
Based on "In the Dark of the Night" of Anastasia
Sung by Makoto Shishio
Accompanied by Juupongatana

Shishio is in his fort in Kyoto as the Juupongatana are arriving. Soon, everyone is there, and in order to keep them awake and invovled during the explanation of his plan, he decides to do something new. . . Instead of just telling the plan to them. . . He decides to sing it to them. . .

~Shishio~

In the dark of the night,
I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had
Was as bad as can be
It scared me out of my wits
A corpse burning to bits
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was me!

I was once the most feared assasin of all Japan

~Rest of Juupongatana~

Ooh~ Aah~ Ooh~

~Shishio~
When the Imperialists betrayed me
They made a mistake

~Rest of Juupongatana~

Ooh~ Aah~ Ooh~

~Shishio~

My plan will make each of them pay
And no one will be able to get away
Japan, beware,
Shishio's awake!

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night,
Shishio will rout her
In the dark of the night,
Just before dawn
(ooh~ ooh~ ooh~)

~Shishio~

Revenge will be sweet
When my plan is complete

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night

~Shishio~

Japan will be burned!

I can feel that my powers are slowly returning!
Gather the rest of the Juupongatana here!

As a new era falls into place!
I'll see all crawl into place!
Sayonara, era of grace,
Farewell!

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night

Terror will strike her

~Shishio~

Terror's the least I can do!

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night
Evil will brew
Oooh~

~Shishio~

Soon, all will feel
That their nightmares are real

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night

~Shishio~

Japan will be through!

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night,
Shishio will rout her
Rout her!
In the dark of the night
Shishio'll come though.
Doom her

~Shishio~

Japan, here's a sign~
It's the end of the line!

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night

~Shishio~

Come my followers,
Rise for your leader
Let your evil shine!
Burn her now!
And kill ever faster!

~Rest of Juupongatana~

In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night

~Shishio~

JAPAN WILL BE MINE!!!
