Shadow

Steel in the silence, breath in the night
A whisper of vengeance, fading from sight
In lands of the shogun, secrets unfold
Blades write the stories that never get told

Two paths cross in the cherry tree's fall
One seeks justice, the other the call
Bound by a creed, not by a name
In the shadows, we all play the game
We rise like the dusk on Kyoto's flame

Hidden in honor, never seeking fame
Through storm and shadow, the truth still bleeds
We fight for the fallen - we are the Creed
From rooftops to rivers, we vanish with grace
Wearing the mask none dare to face
The ronin, the shinobi, one soul, two blades
Turning tyrants to ghosts in the lands they've betrayed

Karma walks softly in sandals of smoke
Chains break loud when the silence is broke
We are the wind through bamboo trees
Unseen, unheard - the killers of kings

We rise like the dusk on Kyoto's flame
Hidden in honor, never seeking fame
Through storm and shadow, the truth still bleeds
We fight for the fallen - we are the Creed

So watch the moonlight where legends tread
In the land of the living, walking with the dead
The past is a blade, the future a vow, now
