Zoe Pegasus, Crimson Justice Ninja

[Verse 1] I walk in red through paper doors, A crest of ash beneath my feet. The old name lives in my blood like a coin I keep from spending on deceit. Grandfather’s gaze, a distant spark, A glass eye turning through the dark. I learned to read the seam in masks, The twitch of greed, the crack in a bark. [Pre-Chorus] I weigh every vow on a silver thread, I taste the lie before it's said. If the world is a lock with a borrowed key, Then I move like a shadow toward the hidden seed. [Chorus] Crimson justice, I carry it, I carry it, I carry it home. Crimson justice, I carry it, Through bone-white smoke and dragon stone. If Bahamut calls, I answer low, If doubt returns, I let it go. Crimson justice, I carry it, I carry it, I carry it home. [Verse 2] The Harpie Queen on her high black seat Wore storms like silk across her throat. She taught me grace in a blade's cold arc, And how to cut where the lies afloat. Empire banners, lacquer and gold, Flutter like tongues that never fold. I bow to honor, not to fear, And keep my true face very near. [Pre-Chorus] I weigh every vow on a silver thread, I taste the lie before it's said. If the world is a lock with a borrowed key, Then I move like a shadow toward the hidden seed. [Chorus] Crimson justice, I carry it, I carry it, I carry it home. Crimson justice, I carry it, Through bone-white smoke and dragon stone. If Bahamut calls, I answer low, If doubt returns, I let it go. Crimson justice, I carry it, I carry it, I carry it home. [Bridge] I have seen the mirror split in two, One face for the court, one face for the truth. And the eye in the blood keeps turning still, Through every sin, through every will. So if my hands grow cold with the weight I bear, I name the line, I breathe the prayer: Not for glory, not for thrones, For the honor of the bones. [Chorus] Crimson justice, I carry it, I carry it, I carry it home. Crimson justice, I carry it, Through bone-white smoke and dragon stone. If Bahamut calls, I answer low, If doubt returns, I let it go. Crimson justice, I carry it, I carry it, I carry it home.
