[Intro: calm shamisen, soft female vocal] In the mist at the edge of the night I lay down my fading light On the stones, on the water so black I am calling you, wishing you back [Verse 1: gentle female vocal, sparse shamisen] The darkness breathes so slow Over my hands in the afterglow Every silence wears your face Every star is an empty space I whisper to the fragile breeze The promises that brought me to my knees And my soul, standing still and warm Is waiting for the falling storm [Pre-Chorus: rising tension, shamisen with low toms] I feel the sky begin to tear Above the dreams I cannot bear Something wakes and starts to beat In my heart's abandoned street [Chorus: heavy metal, distorted guitars, double kick, trumpet accents] Burn, burn into the night Make them tremble in the light Even broken on the ground I will rise without a sound Burn, burn without a turn In the rage and love we learn Beneath the steel, beneath the rain I hear your shadow in my vein [Instrumental Break: fast shamisen solo] [Trumpet Solo responds] [Shamisen plays aggressive melody] [Bright Trumpet answers] [Heavy Metal Breakdown: intense shamisen and trumpet duel] [Shamisen and Trumpet harmonize together] [Verse 2: soft female vocal over heavy pulse] Underneath a moon of steel I cross the void to make it real Like a prayer running wild Against the absence, undefiled My heavy wounds have found a voice They sing in the freezing cold by choice And the lightning in my blood Dances wild within the flood [Pre-Chorus: breathy vocal, building drums] If the world crumbles to dust I will walk in what I trust Even at the edge of the final cry I will keep the night alive [Chorus: full metal, soaring female vocal] Burn, burn into the night Make them tremble in the light Even broken on the ground I will rise without a sound Burn, burn without a turn In the rage and love we learn Beneath the steel, beneath the rain I hear your shadow in my vein [Bridge: half-time metal, haunting female vocal, shamisen answers] In the dark I see the gleam The shattered pieces Of our dream In the fire I am reborn Wilder now Than the early morn [Final Chorus: biggest section, metal + trumpet + shamisen] Burn, burn into the night Let the whole sky join the fight From the ruins and the debris I will forge a crown for me Burn, burn until the day In the rage and love we play And if one last word remains It’s your echo in my chains [Outro: calm shamisen, fading female hum]
