For honor!” ⸻ [Bridge | stripped | emotional oath moment] One life… one blade… One vow that must be paid… If dawn should come… and I should fade… Remember where I stayed… ⸻ [Final Chorus | biggest | heroic war anthem] I got a plan, got a plan For the fight, fight, fight Stand your ground, stand your ground Through the night, night, night If I fall, let me fall With the stars in sight, sight, sight Let the world remember why… I rode with the samurai… ⸻ [Outro | flute fades + cherry blossom wind] (quiet) When the blossoms fall… the legend remains… ⸻
