[Intro] Drums on the mountain, echo through the night Lanterns in the city, shining with the fight [Verse 1] Started with silence, shadows on the street Ancestors whisper, guiding every beat No idols needed, I carry my own flame Respect is written, remember my name [Chorus] Rise up, rise up, feel the taiko thunder Step strong, step strong, tear the walls asunder From Tokyo lights to the world outside This is my answer, I stand with pride [Build-up] Shamisen cutting through the dark Basslines pounding like a spark Every scar is carved in stone But the rhythm makes me whole [Drop] GaGaGa... DaDaDa... Echoes of the east collide [Breakdown] Full moon watching, silence in the air But inside the chaos, I am always there Money can’t measure the weight of a soul But rhythm and honor will carry me whole [Verse 2] Voices are rising, temples in the rain Carving my future from struggle and pain No envy, no fear, my spirit won’t bend I write this story until the very end [Chorus] Rise up, rise up, feel the taiko thunder Step strong, step strong, tear the walls asunder From Tokyo lights to the world outside This is my answer, I stand with pride [Drop] GaGaGa... DaDaDa... Bass with the shamisen cry Watch the phoenix touch the sky [Outro] Answer from the east, written in sound Even in the silence, my spirit is loud
