lyrics

The dream of two generations before me
Mired down by falling ill
But, fear not, my dearest grandfather
For evil shan't have the chance to live again

Vile red bile spilled by my hands
Vengeance for this reality
Not enough, I must spread my light further
With my sisters, forged not by
What runs through our veins
But through the pain we bear together

With eyes as cold as corpses
I peer into the opaque fog
Searching for the answers
Of how to rid the world of evil gone rampant

Through elegance and beauty
There's brutality and cruelty
No mercy for the wicked
For the blood of evil shall be frozen
Cursed forever by this passed down hatred

With every shadow purged by the light of justice,
The ebony of spite consumes me more
The noire of my ice emulates my black heart
Blinded are these blue eyes as cold as corpses
Hypocrisy is invisible to me with eyes as cold as corpses
With eyes as cold as corpses

I lead my sisters on the path of the shinobi, leaving trails of gore in our wake
There is no other solution but to raze the reprobate in this world and all those who stand in our way
Just as our grandfather dreamed and fought for long ago, we strive for a more perfect world
You're either beside us or against us! Those who stand idly by while the maleficent thrive are just as evil as them!

Oh, grandfather, forgive us for our sins!
We have failed you, as temptation has overcome us
But one cannot be without the other (as we've come to learn)
Just as order cannot be without chaos

Our murders of the sinners are just that, murders
As just as we tried to make them, no murder is right
No murder is right!

Destroyed illusions of truth, left to define on our own
A fork in the road to shinobi, we cast off the chains of abhorrence
Denial of fate bestowed upon us, we forge on this path all anew
To seek our own truths, define our justice true, and sojourn to the path of the Kagura

Through elegance and beauty
There's misery and agony
No mercy for the wicked
For malevolent flesh never rots
Cursed no more by this passed down hatred

I stand by shadows who show me more than one view
Yet, I shall stick to the true path of light
The noire of my ice echoes my somber past
I look to the future with eyes as cold as corpses
With eyes as cold as corpses
