lyrics

Kenji of the dark fortress

"My father came from Japan in 1905.

When he immigrated from Japan, it was 15.

My father immigrated from Japan in 1905 when he was only 15 years old.

He worked until he was able to buy the land and build a shop. "

He worked hard until he could buy a small place and then opened a grocery store.

Let me tell you this story in the form of a dream.

Let me tell you this story about dreams.

I don't know why I said it, but I know what it means.

I don't know where to start, but I know what it means.

Close your eyes and imagine this scene,

Close your eyes and draw this picture with me.

As I painted for you, it was World War II.

That was during World War II.

When this man Kenji woke up,

There is a man named Kenji.

Ken is not a soldier,

He is not a soldier.

He's just a man with a family, and he runs a shop in Los Angeles.

He is just an ordinary man with a happy family and a small shop in Los Angeles.

That day, he climbed out of bed as usual.

That day, he got up as usual.

Bacon and eggs, and wife and children,

Bacon and eggs are for his wife and children.

He lives on the second floor of a small shop he runs.

Then come down from upstairs to your shop.

He moved from Japan to Los Angeles,

He moved from Japan to Los Angeles.

They called him an "immigrant"

Americans call him an "immigrant"

In Japanese, he would say his name is' Isei'.

The Japanese call him "Isei".

This means "the first generation of America"

The name means "the first generation of America"

When everyone is afraid of Germans and Japanese,

At that time, everyone was afraid of Germans and Japanese.

But the biggest fear is local attacks.

But the biggest fear is the attack from home.

When Ken went out that morning,

That morning, when Kenji went to the mat outside the door.

His world was dark, because,

His whole world turned black.

Right there. front-page news

Because on the front page of the newspaper,

1942 in the first three weeks,

1942 the first three weeks

"Pearl Harbor was bombed, and the Japanese came."

"Japan air strikes Pearl Harbor"

Pictures of soldiers dying and fleeing,

The picture next to it shows the crowd fleeing in all directions.

Ken knows what this will lead to,

Ken knows what this will lead to.

As he guessed, the president said,

As he expected, the president ordered

"The evil Japanese in our motherland will be locked up."

"We want to lock up these Japanese devils who are still in our country."

They gave Ken a few days,

Ken was not spared.

Put his life in two bags,

Americans only gave him two pockets to take away his life.

There are only two bags, which can't even hold his clothes.

There are only two pockets, and even clothes can't fit.

Some people don't even have suitcases to put things in,

Some neighbors don't even have a suitcase to put things in.

So they only gave them two garbage bags,

They only have two broken pockets.

When children ask their mother "Where are we going"? "

The children asked their mother, "Where are we going?"

Nobody knows what to say to them,

But no one knows how to answer the poor child.

Ken didn't want to lie. He said, "America is looking for spies.

Ken didn't want to cheat his children, so he said, "Americans are catching spies."

So we have to live in a place called Manzanar,

So we went to live in a new place called Manzanar.

There are many Japanese people there. "

Many Japanese live there. "

Stop, don't look at those gunmen,

You don't want the soldiers to be curious,

Don't mess with those gunmen

If you want to run or not,

If you want to escape,

Because if you run, you might get shot,

Can you run faster than a bullet?

Besides, try not to think about it,

So don't try to escape.

Try not to worry about it; So crowded,

Don't worry about the environment and congestion.

One day we will go out, one day, one day.

We can go out later, later.

War broke out

After the war broke out.

The FBI came ... they just came home.

The FBI broke into their house.

"You must come."

"All Japanese have to go."

"All Japanese people go out and you stay."

They took Mr. Ni.

In this way, they took Mr. Li.

People don't understand

People don't understand

Why did they take him?

Why did you take him?

Because he is an innocent worker.

Because he has always been a simple neighbor.

So now they are in a town, surrounded by soldiers,

In this way, people were guarded by soldiers in a town.

Watching them every day, every night,

From the watchtower on the wall,

Watch day and night from the watchtower on the wall

Ken can't really hate them;

But Ken can't really hate these soldiers.

They are just doing their job.

He won't create any problems,

They just do their job, and he doesn't want to bother.

He has a small garden for growing vegetables and fruits.

He gave the soldiers the basket made by his wife.

Ken's wife picked many vegetables and fruits from her yard and put them in baskets for the soldiers.

But deep down, he wants his family's life to be saved.

Prisoners of war in their own country,

But on the contrary, he is still locked up in this damn place like a prisoner.

Why?

Why?

Time passes in prison,

Time passed day by day.

He wants to know if he will forget it when they are free.

When others are released, he is also considering whether to stay here.

The only way out is to join the army,

The only way out is if the army

It is said that some people joined the army and signed their names.

As Americans expected, some people joined the army.

Finally flew to Japan with a bomb,

Came back to Japan with a bomb.

The 15 kiloton explosion quickly ended the war.

The 65438+500 million tons atomic bomb ended the war.

Two cities were blown to pieces; The war ended quickly,

Two cities disappeared and the war soon ended.

Ken was released from prison and hoped to live a normal life with his wife and children.

After he got out of prison, Ken was full of expectations for a dull life with his wife and children.

But when they got home,

But when they returned to their hometown,

What they saw made them feel so lonely,

They are excluded.

These people destroyed every room,

Those Americans destroyed every room of theirs.

Break windows, break doors,

Smash windows and doors, too.

Write it on the wall and floor,

And wrote on the wall

"The Japanese are no longer popular."

"Japanese are never welcome."

Kenji put his two bags beside him and stood outside.

Kenji froze at the door, and two pockets slipped from his hand.

He looked at his wife, speechless,

She looked back at him and wiped away her tears.

Say, "We'll be fine one day, one day."

He was speechless with his wife, who quietly wiped her tears and comforted him, saying, "It will be fine in a while."

The name has been changed, but the story is true.

Now the owner of the story has changed, but the story is true.

My family was locked up in 1942,

My grandparents were imprisoned in 1942.

My family was there, dark and wet,

The place where they stay is darker and wetter than here.

They call it a detention camp.

They call it a war criminal camp.

"When we first got back from the camp,

"When we first came out from there.

It's ... it's ... pretty bad. "

Really. . That's really hard.

"I, I remember my husband said.

I remember my husband saying

Oh, we'll stay until the end.

We will live here forever.

Then my husband died before they closed the concentration camp. "

Then my husband died before the camp was closed.
