[Intro — fast anime punk-rock guitar riff] Clean electric guitar plays a quick melody before distorted guitars slam in. Drums race underneath with a bright J-rock rhythm. HEY! HEY! Turn it louder! HEY! HEY! We’re not going down! Guitar riff climbs. Tonight the sky is calling, and I can hear it screaming my name! I spent too long waiting for somebody else to light the flame. No more looking backward. No more asking who I’m supposed to be. If this is my story— THEN I’M WRITING IT FOR ME! [DRUM FILL] ONE! TWO! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR! NIGHTBLOOD! [Verse 1 — fast punk rhythm] Another night, another chance, Another reason not to look back. I’ve carried every broken dream like stones inside a heavy backpack. Every mistake, every goodbye, Every promise that became a lie— But this isn’t where my story ends. THIS IS WHERE I COME ALIVE! [Pre-Chorus — melodic anime-rock build] Turn it up! LOUDER! Let the walls shake! I’ve been buried long enough— NOW I’M AWAKE! No more silence! No more fear! If the whole world’s listening— LET THEM HEAR! [Chorus — huge anime-opening hook] NIGHTBLOOD! WHOA-OH-OH! Feel the fire rising from within! NIGHTBLOOD! WHOA-OH-OH! Knock me down— I’M GETTING UP AGAIN! Let the midnight thunder! Let the whole world shake! I’ve survived too much to watch myself break! NIGHTBLOOD! Raise your voice into the sky! I don’t need tomorrow TO FEEL ALIVE TONIGHT! Let the heavens open! Let the darkness ignite! THIS IS MY STORY— AND I’M TAKING BACK MY LIFE! [Post-Chorus — guitar lead] HEY! HEY! We’re still alive! HEY! HEY! One more try! Whoa-oh-oh! No matter how many times I fall— I’LL RISE! [Verse 2] Forever sounds beautiful until everything starts changing. People become memories, and familiar places become strange. Nothing stays the way it was, no matter how tightly you hold. But losing yesterday doesn’t mean tomorrow has to be cold. Every time the world changed, something inside me remained— A little voice that kept on saying, “GET UP AND TRY AGAIN!” So I won’t waste another night asking where everything went wrong. If I’ve still got a voice— THEN I’VE STILL GOT A SONG! [Pre-Chorus] Turn it up! LOUDER! Let the whole world shake! Every time I shattered— I FOUND ANOTHER SHAPE! No more silence! No more fear! If tomorrow wants me— IT CAN FIND ME HERE! [Chorus] NIGHTBLOOD! WHOA-OH-OH! Feel the fire rising from within! NIGHTBLOOD! WHOA-OH-OH! Knock me down— I’M GETTING UP AGAIN! Let the midnight thunder! Let the whole world shake! I’ve survived too much to watch myself break! NIGHTBLOOD! Raise your voice into the sky! I don’t need tomorrow TO FEEL ALIVE TONIGHT! Let the heavens open! Let the darkness ignite! THIS IS MY STORY— AND I’M TAKING BACK MY LIFE! [Breakdown — punk bass + palm-muted guitar] How many times can everything fall apart? How many times can you rebuild a heart? How many times can you stand at the edge and still choose to fight? Guitar cuts. One more time. Drumsticks click. One more night. [HEAVY J-ROCK GUITAR DROP] I’VE BEEN BURIED! DUG MY WAY OUT! I’VE BEEN SILENCED! NOW HEAR ME SHOUT! I’VE LOST MY WAY! FOUND IT AGAIN! I’M DONE BELIEVING THAT THIS IS THE END! LET IT HURT! LET IT BURN! EVERY FALL IS ANOTHER CHANCE TO RETURN! You wanna know why I’m still alive? **THERE’S SOMETHING IN ME THAT REFUSES TO DIE!** [Bridge — emotional anime ballad section] Piano enters beneath a clean guitar. Maybe strength isn’t standing alone. Maybe courage is admitting you don’t know. Maybe tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone— And that’s exactly why I refuse to run. I don’t need forever. Just give me tonight. Give me another chance to make something right. Give me one more song that I can scream to the sky— One more reason to remember I’m alive. Strings begin rising behind the guitars. And if tomorrow hurts— I’ll face it. If everything breaks— I’ll remake it. If darkness comes again— Drums return. I’LL LIGHT IT UP! [Anime Guitar Solo] Fast melodic lead guitar with soaring strings underneath. Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Drums accelerate. READY?! ONE! TWO! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR! [FINAL CHORUS — key change] NIGHTBLOOD! WHOA-OH-OH! There’s a fire they could never kill! NIGHTBLOOD! WHOA-OH-OH! After everything— I’M STANDING STILL! Let the midnight thunder! Let the whole world shake! Every time life broke me— I FOUND ANOTHER WAY! NIGHTBLOOD! Scream it louder to the sky! We don’t need tomorrow TO FEEL ALIVE TONIGHT! Let yesterday burn! Let tomorrow ignite! THIS IS OUR STORY— AND WE’RE TAKING BACK OUR LIVES! [Final Punk-Rock Hook] HEY! HEY! (WE’RE NOT DONE!) HEY! HEY! (HERE WE COME!) FALL DOWN! (GET BACK UP!) BREAK APART! (REBUILD US!) ONE MORE DREAM! ONE MORE FIGHT! **ONE MORE CHANCE TO CHANGE OUR LIVES!** NIGHTBLOOD! (NIGHTBLOOD!) NIGHTBLOOD! (NIGHTBLOOD!) WE’RE STILL ALIVE!
