(Intro) (A lonely, haunting shakuhachi flute melody drifts over a deep, pulsing synthesizer drone. The sound of waves crashing against the island of Lin Fen. Suddenly, a sharp, metallic percussion hits—the sound of a katana being unsheathed.) Verse 1 Across the misty waters where the dead men sleep There’s a vow of the shadow that the ancestors keep Lin Fen is waiting with a heart of cold stone The last of the Kunitoki walks the path alone The smoke of the village is a ghost in his eyes Beneath the red moon of the Eastern skies One man remaining from a brotherhood slain To wash away the dishonor in the blood and the rain! Pre-Chorus Through the bamboo forest where the traps are set A dance with the devil that you’ll never forget With a staff and a shuriken, a blade in the hand He’s the silent lightning across the land! Chorus The Last Ninja! Rising from the dark Leaving on the enemy a crimson mark The Last Ninja! Spirit of the wind Payment for the treachery, the weight of the sin From the garden of shadows to the palace of light He’s the master of the secret, the king of the night! Verse 2 Scaling the fortress of the mountain of fire Every step taken takes him higher and higher The guards in the hallway are shadows of fear They feel the cold metal before he is near In the scrolls of the elders, the power is hidden To enter the inner sanctum is strictly forbidden But the Kunitoki bloodline is ending today When the Last Ninja sweeps the darkness away! Pre-Chorus Through the bamboo forest where the traps are set A dance with the devil that you’ll never forget With a staff and a shuriken, a blade in the hand He’s the silent lightning across the land! Chorus The Last Ninja! Rising from the dark Leaving on the enemy a crimson mark The Last Ninja! Spirit of the wind Payment for the treachery, the weight of the sin From the garden of shadows to the palace of light He’s the master of the secret, the king of the night! Bridge (The tempo accelerates into a frantic, 16-bit style arpeggio. The music becomes dense and claustrophobic, like a final boss battle.) Focus the mind... Sharpen the steel... The fate of the clan... Is the only thing real! (A soaring, distorted synth solo erupts, blending ancient scales with futuristic speed.) Chorus The Last Ninja! Rising from the dark Leaving on the enemy a crimson mark The Last Ninja! Spirit of the wind Payment for the treachery, the weight of the sin From the garden of shadows to the palace of light He’s the master of the secret, the king of the night! Outro The Last Ninja... (The mission is complete) The Last Ninja... (The spirits are at rest) Fade into the shadow... Fade into the light... (The music slows back down to the lonely flute, fading into the sound of a distant gong.)
