[Intro – Eerie Industrial Atmosphere] [Low taiko drums] Two paths born from the same darkness. One embraced it. One escaped from it. [Industrial pulse] One mastered what others fear. The other... WAS BORN FROM FEAR ITSELF. [Crushing riff] [Verse 1 – Dark Rhythmic Rap] Bare feet walking through the smoke and flame, Years of violence carved behind the name, Satsui no Hado running cold through the veins, Power held steady while destruction remains. Every movement measured, every strike refined, No wasted anger ever clouding the mind, Akuma stands where the weak disappear— HE DIDN'T RUN FROM DARKNESS, HE BROUGHT IT HERE. [Heavy riff] Red eyes open on the other side, A buried hatred that refused to die, Everything Ryu kept locked away— NOW WALKS THE EARTH AND ANSWERS TO KAGE. [Pre-Chorus – Heavy Rhythmic Build] One chose the darkness. ONE WAS CREATED. One learned to wield it. ONE CAN'T CONTAIN IT. Two different answers To the very same flame— NOW LET THE DARKNESS SETTLE THE CLAIM. [Chorus – Huge Heavy Rhythmic Clean Vocal] THE DARKEST PATH! LET THE HATRED BURN! Two demons walk the same road, But only one returns! THE DARKEST PATH! NO TURNING BACK! One mastered what Ryu feared— THE OTHER CAME FROM THAT! [Post-Chorus – Heavy Groove] [Low guitar riff] The path gets darker... [RIFF] The gate gets closer... [Distorted whisper] Keep walking. [Verse 2 – Aggressive Rhythmic Rap] Kage moves forward like a wound torn wide, Every buried impulse given life outside, No hesitation slowing down the attack, Only violent instinct driving it back. Akuma watches through the storm and smoke, Waiting for the instant when the rhythm is broke, Dark power gathers between both hands— HADOKEN! [Heavy impact] Smoke rolls over shattered ground, A red-eyed shadow turns back around, Distance disappears as the pressure climbs— TWO SIDES OF DARKNESS COLLIDE THIS TIME. [Pre-Chorus] One chose the darkness. ONE WAS CREATED. One learned to wield it. ONE CAN'T CONTAIN IT. Two different answers To the very same flame— NOW LET THE DARKNESS SETTLE THE CLAIM. [Chorus – Huge Heavy Rhythmic Clean Vocal] THE DARKEST PATH! LET THE HATRED BURN! Two demons walk the same road, But only one returns! THE DARKEST PATH! NO TURNING BACK! One mastered what Ryu feared— THE OTHER CAME FROM THAT! [Industrial Breakdown – Slow and Oppressive] [Taiko drums] Same darkness. Different shape. Same hunger. Different fate. [Heavy hit] Akuma made the darkness— A WEAPON. [Heavy hit] Ryu tried to bury it— IT BECAME KAGE. [Silence] NOW THEY MEET AT THE END OF THE ROAD. [Crushing riff] [Rap Breakdown – Dark Flow] One spent a lifetime sharpening the blade, One is the consequence of choices never made, One took the darkness and gave it command, One broke loose when control couldn't stand. No hero coming to separate the two, No peaceful ending waiting when they're through, Every collision asks the question again— WHO OWNS THE DARKNESS IN THE END? [Heavy riff] Akuma stays cold when the pressure gets high, Kage gets stronger when the rage multiplies— ONE PUT THE MONSTER ON A LEASH... [Silence] THE OTHER IS THE MONSTER SET FREE. [Massive impact] [Akuma Sequence – Eerie Minimalism] [Music fades] The movement stops. The arena falls silent. [Single taiko hit] A presence disappears into the dark. One instant. One strike. [Silence] RAGING DEMON. [Violent impact] [Aftermath – Industrial Distortion] [Low static] Smoke covers the arena. Nothing moves. [Heartbeat] Then... Two red eyes open through the haze. [Distorted whisper] Not finished. [Crushing riff] [Bridge – Sinister Rhythmic Vocal] Darkness doesn't care Where the road began. It only asks how far Someone's willing to descend. One found strength By staring into the black. The other exists— BECAUSE RYU KEPT STARING BACK. [Heavy impact] [Final Build – Taiko + Crushing Guitar] One mastered the rage. One became it. One chose the darkness. One escaped it. [Heartbeat] One road. One gate. One place left. [Silence] ONLY ONE WALKS AWAY. [Massive drop] [Final Chorus – Maximum Impact] THE DARKEST PATH! LET THE HATRED BURN! Two demons walked the same road, But only one returns! THE DARKEST PATH! NO TURNING BACK! One mastered what Ryu feared— THE OTHER CAME FROM THAT! [Heavy riff] THE DARKEST PATH! LET THE SHADOWS CLASH! One turned darkness into power— ONE WAS BORN FROM RYU'S PAST! THE DARKEST PATH! ONLY ONE WALKS PAST! [Outro – Eerie Taiko] [Slow taiko] One road. Two shadows. One continues. [Silence] THE DARKNESS DECIDES. [END]
