[Verse] Lanterns flicker soft in the breeze Whispers follow through the cherry trees Shadows stretch and dance on the ground Secrets lost Now they're found [Prechorus] I hear the drums I feel the call A ghostly voice beneath it all [Chorus] In Kyoto Where the moon hangs low The streets remember what the stars won’t show Kyoto Shadows sing to me A story hidden in eternity [Verse 2] Footsteps echo on an empty street Past lives linger where the old paths meet Paper walls hold echoes of the past A fleeting moment It won't last [Chorus] In Kyoto Where the moon hangs low The streets remember what the stars won’t show Kyoto Shadows sing to me A story hidden in eternity [Bridge] The koto hums A timeless cry Beneath the neon-painted sky The air is heavy The silence deep Kyoto never lets its secrets sleep
