[Intro] Before the concrete. Before the city. Before the roads had names— There was the mountain. There was the river. There was the dragon. 九頭竜。 Kuzuryu. The Nine-Headed Dragon. [Verse 1] A thousand years ago, Beneath the shadow of Hakusan, The old story says The sacred image touched the river— And from the water Rose a dragon. One body. Nine heads. 九つの頭。 一つの命。 Nine heads. One life. It carried the sacred Down through the valley, And the people gave the river Its immortal name: 九頭竜川。 Kuzuryu. River of the Nine-Headed Dragon. [Verse 2] Another story Came down from the mountains: The dragon descended From Arashima, And every year The mountain sent gold Into the river. Gold on the ayu. Gold beneath the water. A gift carried downstream From mountain to sea. For generations The river gave life. Rice. Fish. Villages. Children. Memory. The dragon kept flowing. [Pre-Chorus] Empires disappear. Buildings fall. Generations pass. But the river remembers. 川は覚えている。 Kawa wa oboete iru. The river remembers. [Verse 3] Then came nineteen ninety-four. A new generation Built beside the dragon. Stone and steel. Baths and gathering halls. A place for families. A place for children. A place for the old To sit together in the water. They gave it the dragon's name: Sukatto Land Kuzuryu. すかっとランド九頭竜。 And for thirty years, Steam rose Beside the river. Children became parents. Parents became grandparents. Thousands entered those waters And carried their memories home. [Build] Then the doors closed. The lights went dark. The halls fell silent. And someone wrote: DEMOLISH. Fifteen hundred million yen To erase What forty-seven hundred million built. But the dragon Wasn't dead. 眠っていただけだ。 Nemutte ita dake da. It was only sleeping. [Chorus] WAKE THE DRAGON! 九頭竜よ、目を覚ませ！ Nine heads rising! One heart beating! SAVE SUKATTO LAND! すかっとランドを守れ！ MOTTAINAI! まだ壊すな！ The dragon isn't dying— The dragon is changing! 古きを活かし 新しきを生む！ From the mountain! Through the valley! To the sea! 九頭竜よ―― RISE AGAIN! [Verse 4] What if the old walls Did not become rubble? What if the spring Still healed the body? Level One: Water. 湯。 Behind the walls: Compute. 計算。 Heat from machines Returns to the people. What once was waste Warms homes through winter. Above the onsen, Young people gather. AI. Robotics. Code. The children of the valley No longer have to leave To touch the future. Nine heads. Nine possibilities. Water. Heat. Compute. Light. Learning. Robotics. Community. Memory. Future. 九つの力。 一つの里。 Nine powers. One village. [Chorus] WAKE THE DRAGON! 九頭竜よ、目を覚ませ！ Let the old heart Beat again! SAVE SUKATTO LAND! すかっとランドを守れ！ MOTTAINAI! 捨てるな！ 壊すな！ Don't bury the dragon Under broken stone! Give it another life! 古きを活かし 新しきを生む！ 九頭竜よ―― 未来へ！ [Bridge – The Dragon of Light] And then From Hakusan— Light. 白山から 光が来る。 The ancient story Returns in another form. Not scales. Not fire. Light. Akira Hasegawa Raises the Digital Kakejiku. 長谷川章。 光の師。 Across the old concrete, Red becomes blue. Blue becomes gold. Gold disappears And is born again. 無常。 Nothing remains the same. The building they called ugly Becomes a living scroll. The sleeping fortress Becomes A dragon of light. One wall changes. Then another. One building survives. Then another. One village rises. Then another. [Build] One dragon. Nine heads. A thousand villages. [Final Chorus] WAKE THE DRAGON! 九頭竜よ、目を覚ませ！ Let Fukui hear the river roar! SAVE SUKATTO LAND! すかっとランドを守れ！ MOTTAINAI! まだ終わっていない！ The contract isn't signed! The walls are standing! The water remembers! The village remembers! 川は覚えている！ 里は覚えている！ Nine heads rising! One heart beating! 九つの頭！ 一つの命！ From Hakusan To Kuzuryu— From the old Into the new— 古きを活かし 新しきを生む！ SAVE THE DRAGON! 九頭竜を守れ！ WAKE THE DRAGON! 九頭竜よ、目を覚ませ！ [Outro] A thousand years ago— The dragon entered the river. Nineteen ninety-four— Its name was placed Upon these walls. Twenty twenty-six— They came To tear them down. But this story Does not end in rubble. The spring remains. The river flows. The walls still stand. The dragon Is still breathing. 九頭竜。 Kuzuryu. Wake up. 目を覚ませ。 九頭竜よ―― 未来へ轟け！
