Lyrics
Intro – shamisen riff + steam hiss
Verse 1 – rap over chug
Out of the gloom, into the light
New world unspoiled, gears turning bright
Ten years alone in hollow stone cave
I know you're not real – illusion wave
Come to take me from games we play
Brass and steam, lead the way
Pre-Chorus – koto + choir
And I know
I cannot go
Chorus – massive drop
I know what you're here for
Remember it all, my friend
How could I forget?
I know what you're here for
Never let you win this game of fear again
Verse 2 – faster rap, shamisen
Again I must say
Take the chance, throw it away?
Courage to follow through the tide
Change your mind on the other side?
No way back, time runs thin
Airship rising – let’s begin
Ride away to the turn of tide
New world beyond, decide
Pre-Chorus 2 – higher
And you know
You cannot go
Chorus – heavier
I know what you're here for
Remember it all, my friend
How could I forget?
I know what you're here for
Never let you win this game of fear again
Bridge – taiko build
Hollow stone echoes my name
Illusion or truth – same game
No time left, tide turns fast
Choose now or be the past
Final Chorus – max chaos
I know what you're here for
Remember it all, my friend
How could I forget?
I know what you're here for
Never let you win this game of fear again
Game of fear – end it here
Outro – shamisen fade + steam
No more games...
Ride away.
