The reports of the death of rock and roll
Have been greatly exaggerated
Put away your laptops and auto tune
Step into the hot-x dojo

You are now fuckin' with the samurai guitarist
Did I mumble motherfucker?
No, you heard me right
Worlds are collidin'

Samurai Sessions 3 is about to hit you like a hammer
Split your ass in half, like a sharp-ass katana

From Tokyo to L.A., to London and Israel
Brazil and Chile
He is makin' history

Say his name! Say his name!
Mi-ya-viii!
