Road to the North

[Epic Intro] [Verse 1] Holding a ticket for the northern land With nothing but memories in my bags Following traces of old forgotten days I’m going back home Where nobody waits for me anymore ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] When the departure bell begins to ring That’s the signal for goodbye Farewell To the glitter of the city nights I was never meant for this place And the neon lights pretend They never knew my name ⸻ [Chorus] Beyond the Sanriku coast Toward the cliffs of Kitayamazaki My journey follows a road with no destination Maybe I should sink this weary body Into the endless sea No… Maybe I should keep on living Until the very end ⸻ [Verse 2] The seagulls cry above the northern waves “You too are only a migrating bird” “Then cry here Until your soul dries out completely” “And when you grow tired of crying Go ahead and sleep” ⸻ [Bridge] The house my grandmother once lived in Still creaks beneath the dust and time As I repair the broken walls Maybe I can repair my heart as well Tomorrow Will surely become a better day ⸻ (Interlude) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Beyond the Sanriku coast All the way to Kuji Harbor This is a journey Following the map of my own heart I’ll visit the graves and offer my prayers It’s alright I am not alone I will keep living Carrying my ancestors beside me ⸻ [Outro] Beyond the Sanriku coast Toward the northern sea Maybe this endless road Was always leading me back to myself
