[VERY RARE] Imperial Japanese Song - Patriotism / To Worry for the Nation (憂國) JPN/ENG SUB

This is a song written for the movie Patriotism directed by Yukio Mishima in 1966. It draws some parallels to the infamous February 26 Incident, which was why I added some images from the movie depicting that historical event in this video.

This song is extremely rare, with no existing English translations and sparse documentation even in Japanese. In fact, I was unable to find a text version of the Japanese lyrics - big shoutout to my friend Ivan55 for transcribing them (check out his channel if you haven't already; he specializes in Imperial Japanese songs).

Lyrics:
日本の誇り今いずこ
誠道廃れて民落とす
最後を献花に乱ろ時
廓清の剣いざ取らん

立てよ有志の同胞よ
荊棘の道我往かん
社稷を思う銃口は
奉還せよの天の声

権に屈せず利そ追んず
功名なんぞ頼む無さ
草莽野辺に果つるとも
維新の夢をなさざらん

菊の香りに桜富士
大和男子と生きれなば
生命七度 尊皇の
国を憂い花と咲け
