[Intro — Japanese female whisper, distant choir] 静寂の中で 運命が目を覚ます (Shijima no naka de Unmei ga me o samasu) [Verse 1 — Male vocal] I hear the voices carried by the wind The ones who left, the ones who still remain You built your dream upon a world of fear But peace was never meant to wear a chain Through every shadow, every scar We choose the people that we are The past may follow where we go But it will never own my soul [Pre-Chorus] Two paths beneath a dying sun Two visions— Only one moves on! [Chorus — Explosive] GHOSTS OF DESTINY! Calling through the fire Will we set this broken world free Or surrender to desire? GHOSTS OF DESTINY! Let the heavens shake If tomorrow must be written— Then I'll choose the path I take! [Japanese backing vocals] 運命を超えて！ (Unmei o koete!) Beyond destiny! [Instrumental Battle Break] [Shamisen riff, heavy guitars, taiko drums] [Verse 2 — Darker / aggressive] You call it peace when no one can resist A perfect dream where freedom can't exist But every soul deserves to choose its way Even if that choice brings pain another day Ancient hatred, endless war Tell me what we're fighting for You can bend the world you see But you will never conquer me [Pre-Chorus] Two paths beneath a crimson moon One dream will fall— The moment's coming soon! [Chorus] GHOSTS OF DESTINY! Calling through the fire Will we set this broken world free Or surrender to desire? GHOSTS OF DESTINY! Let the heavens shake If tomorrow must be written— Then I'll choose the path I take! [Breakdown — aggressive] NO CHAINS! NO FALSE PARADISE! NO DREAM CAN CHOOSE OUR LIVES! 魂は消えない！ (Tamashii wa kienai!) THE SOUL WILL NOT DIE! [Instrumental] [Taiko drums → shamisen → distorted guitar solo] [Final Chorus — huge] GHOSTS OF DESTINY! Hear the spirits crying Through the darkness we will see What was hidden in the night GHOSTS OF DESTINY! Let the old world break Our tomorrow isn't given— IT'S THE CHOICE WE HAVE TO MAKE! [Outro — quiet Japanese whisper] 運命の先へ… (Unmei no saki e...) Beyond destiny...
