The Oni Lords

Back in their castles

And their comfortable domains

The samurai lords made known

They would travel to Korea

Defeat Korea's navy

Kill Korean armies

Steal their collected riches

And enslave their workers

In the depths of their despair

Korean leaders called out in prayer

Saying please help us, anyone,
Will anyone help us, please?

We'll do anything
We're the aggrieved

And nothing happened

No one responded for days

As the samurai armies made inroads

Over and over again 
The enemy armies slaughtered

And captured women and children

Defeated warriors made slaves

The gods of Korea were silent

Until a cadre of Oni listened 

And soon made a bargain

With the Korean leaders

Drawing strength from fire

The Oni raised a hellish army

And stood their ground
As the Samurai approached

Soon, the slaughter made the ground wet

With blood, and Oni ichors from the deep

Had fought and died

Slaying countless bushi

After the battle

The samurai and the Koreans knew

Oni exist, whether one believes or not
