The Last Ronin

[Intro] "Only the blade remembers..." [Verse 1] Footprints fade in the dust and stone, Names fall silent, worn from the bone. One man, one shadow, carries the past, Cutting through a future that's breaking fast. Ghosts in the alleys whisper my name, Smoke curls stories I cannot reclaim. No flags, no masters, no gold to steal, Only the edge knows what is real. [Pre-Chorus x2] [Soft, ghostly tone]: No banners, no prayers, Just a whisper of where. The legacy's weight... Carved into air. [Chorus] Legacy in steel, I carry the name, Etched in the edge, burned in the flame. Lost in the drift, I still remain, One cut, one breath, through sorrow and shame. [Verse 2] Night falls heavy on streets gone blind, Past and present blur in the mind. The blade hums songs no ears can hear, It cuts a path through the broken fear. Ashes settle on the battles I've lost, Ink fades slow on the stories it cost. Still I stand, still I feel, Bearing the weight — my legacy in steel. [Pre-Chorus x2] [Voice hollow but rising]: No banners, no prayers, Just a whisper of where. The legacy's weight... Carved into air. [Chorus] [Resigned but proud]: Legacy in steel, I carry the name, Etched in the edge, burned in the flame. Lost in the drift, I still remain, One cut, one breath, through sorrow and shame.
