BLADE IN THE WIND by zhen

[Intro – Soft Wind, Whispered Vocals]

(Wind blows… distant flute… footsteps in the night)

Looking out across the moonlight
The village blinks a sleepless eye
Hear the wind shake through the temple
Carrying one final cry

Brother, why do you pursue me?
Four walls could never hide my shame
If this world has marked me guilty
Will the wind erase my name?

[Verse 1 – Yasuo]

I never struck our master down
The truth was lost in fear
One missed duty, one fatal hour
And suddenly death was here

The elders whispered “Murderer”
My honor cast aside
So I ran into the endless storm
With sorrow as my guide

Every road became a question
Every gust repeated “Why?”
How could blood become a sentence
When the innocent must hide?

[Pre-Chorus – Yasuo]

If they say, “Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)”
Tell them it was human nature
Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)
Why would I kill our own father?

If they say, “Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)”
Tell them I still hear his voice
Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)
I never had another choice

[Chorus – Yone]

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me what you’re running from
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Was it guilt or was it love?

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me why the wind still follows
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Why does truth feel cold and hollow?

You keep running this way
I keep chasing this way
Brother, run, oh run
Yasuo, run, oh run

[Verse 2 – Yone]

Looking out across the mountains
I tracked your shadow through the rain
Every footprint felt familiar
Every step reopened pain

I did not want to be your hunter
I did not want to raise my steel
But master’s blood was still there calling
And honor told me what to feel

I knew the boy before the exile
I knew the heart beneath your pride
But when the village named you guilty
Something in my mercy died

Brother, stop before the sunrise
Lay your weapon in the dust
If the wind has made you blameless
Then stand and give me truth to trust

[Pre-Chorus – Yone]

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Would the wind reveal your secret?
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Or confirm the lies I sleep with?

If I say, “Come (Come) Come (Come)”
Will your eyes still look like home?
Come (Come) Come (Come)
Or has my brother truly gone?

[Chorus – Yone]

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me what you’re running from
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Was it guilt or was it love?

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me why the wind still follows
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Why does truth feel cold and hollow?

You keep running this way
I keep chasing this way
Brother, run, oh run
Yasuo, run, oh run

[Bridge – The Duel]

Steel collides beneath the starlight
Tornadoes carve the air
One blade raised in broken duty
One in truth beyond despair

I saw your hands begin to tremble
I saw the fear behind your face
Not the eyes of some cold killer
But the brother I could not save

Then silence fell like winter
And the storm forgot to breathe
I heard your voice beside me
As my soul began to leave

[Final Chorus – Yone]

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me what I’m running from
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Was it death or was it love?

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me why the dark still follows
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Why does peace feel cold and hollow?

You kept running that way
I kept chasing that way
Brother, run, oh run
Yasuo, run, oh run

If I say, “Run (Run) Run (Run)”
Tell me what my soul became
Run (Run) Run (Run)
Why do I still speak your name?

If they say, “Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)”
Tell them it’s the wind’s own nature
Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)
Why does truth arrive so late here?

If they say, “Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)”
Tell them that my soul is fractured
Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?)
Why does my own brother chase me?
