Kanji

 * 我が行く道はひとつ
 * 天下を束ね行くこと
 * 手段を選びはしない
 * 何処へ急ぐ？風のように


 * 敵は残らず討つべし
 * やむを得ない犠牲など
 * わが身も惜しみはしない
 * 何処へ急ぐ？未だ早い


 * 聞き耳立てれば
 * あの音聴こゆる 今
 * はじまる戦


 * 決意の矢を放て ならば
 * 烈しき火を放て 行こう
 * 冷たき眼差しにて
 * ただ進み行くだけ


 * 歴史は変わるべき 共に
 * 天下分け目のとき 行こう
 * 其の機を掴みとりて
 * 躊躇わず行くだけ


 * 遠くで狼煙が上がる
 * もののふども立ち上がれ
 * 容赦は出来ぬこれ以上
 * 待てぬならば 俺も走る


 * 天下を取る者
 * 誰でも構わぬ ただ
 * 時は来たれり


 * 尽くすべきは最善 今が
 * 求むるは完全 時よ
 * 言葉にせぬ願いよ
 * あの天に蠢け


 * 幾千矢を放て 急げ
 * 幾多の火を放て 遥か
 * 策謀練り行くのが
 * 風と雲の掟


 * 吹く風 立つ雲
 * この手に力を さあ
 * 戦の中へ


 * 決意の矢を放て ならば
 * 烈しき火を放て 行こう
 * 冷たき眼差しにて
 * ただ進み行くだけ


 * 歴史は変わるべき  共に
 * 天下分け目のとき  行こう
 * 其の機を掴みとるが
 * 風と雲の掟
