[Verse 1] Ten years old, in shadows deep, a destiny I couldn't keep My father's eyes, a chilling gleam, a twisted, solitary dream He taught me power, cold and vast, a future built to never last But in my soul, a different fire burned, a longing for what I deserved No more the venom in my veins, no more the echoing refrains Of dark ambition, empty might, I fled the darkness for the light. [Chorus] Orochiheim, a name of strife, carving out a brand new life From serpent's grasp to open sky, I learned to fight, I learned to fly A different path, a different way, to greet the sun and seize the day Though born of night, I chose the dawn, a Leaf beneath a rising sun. [Verse 2] A weathered hand, a kindly smile, he took me in, stayed for a while The Toad Sage taught me more than jutsu, stories whispered, lessons too Of friendship's bond, of sacrifice, of finding strength beyond the ice Ten years I trained, beneath his gaze, through sunlit days and misty haze My past receded, like a dream, replaced by hope, a living stream He showed me family, love's embrace, a rightful, chosen, sacred place. [Chorus] Orochiheim, a name of strife, carving out a brand new life From serpent's grasp to open sky, I learned to fight, I learned to fly A different path, a different way, to greet the sun and seize the day Though born of night, I chose the dawn, a Leaf beneath a rising sun. [Verse 3] Then chaos fell, a whispered dread, "The Leaf is burning," someone said My sensei gone, his memory clear, dispelling doubt, dismissing fear I rushed to where the battle raged, a fury barely to be caged Against the power, dark and grim, I fought for them, for every limb For every soul, for every stone, a village I had come to own My strength, my will, my honed technique, for Konoha, I took my stand to speak. [Bridge] The dust had settled, silence reigned, the hidden wound, but victory gained Before the Hokage, brave and true, she looked at me, she saw anew "No longer orphan, no longer lost," she spoke, no matter what the cost "A citizen, a chosen heir, a Senju name, beyond compare." My journey's end, my spirit's call, to rise and stand, to give my all. [Chorus] Orochiheim, a name of strife, carving out a brand new life From serpent's grasp to open sky, I learned to fight, I learned to fly A different path, a different way, to greet the sun and seize the day Though born of night, I chose the dawn, a Leaf beneath a rising sun. [Outro] A Senju heart, a chosen plea, forever Konoha, proud and free.
