Description:
Your sword's grown old and rusty, burnt beneath the rising sunIt's locked up like a trophy, forgetting all the things it's doneAnd though it's been a long time, you're right back where you started fromI see it in your eyes that now youre giving up the gunWhen I was 17, I had wrists like steel and I felt completeAnd now my body fades behind a brass charade and I'm obsoleteBut if the chance remains to see those better days, I'd cut the cannons downMy ears are blown to bits from all the rifle hits, but still I crave that soundYour sword's grown old and rusty, burnt beneath the rising sunIt's locked up like a trophy, forgetting all the things it's doneAnd though it's been a long time, you're right back where you started fromI see it in your eyes that now youre giving up the gunI heard you play guitar down at a seedy bar where skinheads used to fightYour Tokugawa smile and your garbage style used to save the nightYou felt the coming wave, told me we'd all be brave, you said you wouldn't flinchBut in the years that passed since I saw you last, you haven't moved an inchYour sword's grown old and rusty, burnt beneath the rising sunIt's locked up like a trophy, forgetting all the things it's doneAnd though it's been a long time, you're right back where you started fromI see it in your eyes that now youre giving up the gunI see you shine in your wayGo on, go on, go onYour sword's grown old and rusty, burnt beneath the rising sunIt's locked up like a trophy, forgetting all the things it's doneAnd though it's been a long time, you're right back where you started fromI see it in your eyes that now youre giving up the gun

vomitinggiraffe Says:
Apr 3, 2012 - So is the subject of this song giving up a sword or a gun? Or one of those metaphorical sword guns from Romeo + Juliet (with Leo Dicaprio)? Or is it that the sword has been out of commission, so the subject of this song updated with the times and got a gun and the song is about giving that up? Or does it not matter because most of the song is a metaphor? I'll put my money on the last guess...

Apr 10, 2012 - Its about Japan westernizing and making the samurai give up their swords because they are now obselte in the era of the gun so their giving up the gun so to speak.

Oct 15, 2010 - well it's mostly an electric guitar modulated to produce the string sounds, the back electronic sounds are probably synths sounds and fx, and finally the really tingly melodies are bell chimes on an instrument known as the chime bar which produces sounds similair to the cariollon. Hope that helped! :)
