This Is Shih Ko Fa

This is Shih Ko Fa
Which means "Tradition
Of Upholding the Law."
He's a general, ha ha
The lack of an army is his only flaw

As the Great Wall becomes longer and longer
More cities fall and the Manchu is stronger
Where is the emperor? Has he no pity?
Has he escaped from the, Forbidden City?
From all directions come rumors of slaughters
Common folk starve while the dynasty totters
Powers that be are now not even being
No one's attacking or packing, just fleeing

This is Shih Ko Fa
Which means "Tradition
Of Upholding the Law."
He's a general, ha ha
The lack of an army is his only flaw
