A Shogun (将軍, Shōgun, [ɕoːɡu͍ɴ], "general", literally "military commander") was a hereditary military dictator in Japan during the period from 1192 to 1867. In this period, the shoguns were the de facto rulers of the country, although nominally they were appointed by the Emperor as a formality. The Shogun held almost absolute power over territories through military means, in contrast to the concept of a colonial governor in Western culture. Nevertheless, an unusual situation occurred in the Kamakura period (1199-1333) upon the death of the first shogun, whereby the Hōjō clan's hereditary titles of Shikken and Tokuso (1256-1333) monopolized the shogunate, collectively known as the Regent Rule (執権政治). The shogun during this period met the same fate as the Emperor and was reduced to a figurehead until a coup in 1333, when the shogun was restored to power.
The modern rank of shogun is roughly equivalent to a generalissimo. The title of shogun, is the short form of Sei-i Taishōgun (征夷大将軍, literally "Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Against the Barbarians"); the individual governing the country at various times in the history of Japan, ending when Tokugawa Yoshinobu relinquished the office to the Emperor Meiji in 1867.

The night shall stay
I don't wan to see
The righteous way
I know that she isn't free
She gave her word
Her life has to be
As a proud bird
In a royal cage, she lives her life
The fate forbid's to be a wife
She's the sun and golden shimes her light
She'sthe sun, her smile ligts up the night
She's a queen - and out of reach to me
She's a queen - it hurts to set her free
I know, that she has to fight
Lend her hand
For her King, the right
And her land
In a royal cage, she lives her life
The fate forbid's to be a wife
[Chorus]
The secret Gods - they pray for you
They save your life, me too
The secret ways - you have to go
You'll have to win, I know
