First Impression, Last Impression - Golisopod

[Intro – somber, Baritone] Yeah… Armor cracked but I don’t show it… Silent waves… carry ghosts… A guard… who failed… ⸻ [Verse 1] Bug and Water, yeah I moved like the tide Shell like a fortress, but the pain live inside Feudal nights, I was sworn to protect Lord’s only daughter, I would die for respect Blade on my waist, stance calm, never shaken Every breath measured, every vow never breakin’ She used to laugh, say “you’re more than a shield” Didn’t know that night… I’d be the one that would yield Shadow in the halls, yeah the silence got loud Wind cut once, then she fell to the ground Ninja clan strike, no trace, no sound Just a flicker in the dark… and her blood on the ground I was too late… yeah I carry that stain Armor feel heavier, drownin’ in shame Lord looked at me but he ain’t even speak That silence hit harder than a blade ever could reach ⸻ [Hook] Made a first impression… when I stepped in the gate Made a last impression… but it came too late Bug and Water, tears mix with the rain Honor in my chest but it’s buried in pain Made a first impression… I was sworn to defend Made a last impression… now I’m meetin’ my end Wave crash heavy, yeah I’m lost in the tide If I failed my oath… I don’t deserve to survive ⸻ [Verse 2] Left the castle walls, ain’t say goodbye Just a ghost in the mist with revenge in my eyes Tracked every whisper, every rumor they said Ninja clan hid where the shadows get fed Months turned to bloodshed, I was huntin’ they name One by one… yeah I washed ‘em in rain Shell chipped off but I ain’t feel pain Only thing I felt was that night replayed They moved like wind but I learned every step Predict every strike, every breath they kept Turned their stealth to a grave real quick Now the last one standin’… that Ninjask flick ⸻ [Verse 3 – Stand-off] We locked eyes, no words, just fate Moonlight cut through, yeah it set the stage He buzzed fast, like a whisper of death I stood still, slow draw… holdin’ my breath One move… that’s all it would take He dashed in close, thought my guard would break But the tide don’t rush… it waits… then strikes Aqua Jet flash—cut clean through the night Like iaido steel… yeah one single line He froze mid-air… then split in time Silence fell heavy, no victory cry Just the sound of the wind… as he faded and died ⸻ [Hook] Made a first impression… when I stepped in the gate Made a last impression… but it came too late Bug and Water, tears mix with the rain Honor in my chest but it’s buried in pain Made a first impression… I was sworn to defend Made a last impression… now I’m meetin’ my end Wave crash heavy, yeah I’m lost in the tide If I failed my oath… I don’t deserve to survive ⸻ [Outro – Seppuku] Knee in the dirt… blade in my hand Blood on the steel… just like I planned No clan left breathin’, vengeance complete But honor ain’t somethin’ revenge can repeat I see her face… in the water’s reflection This is my final… and only correction Steel to my core… no fear, no cry A warrior’s end… where the guilty ones die Aqua runs red… then fades to black… First impression… Last impression… …no comin’ back.
