Kafka’s War Cry

Yeah

It’s Kafka

(ha)

You wanted a monster

Clocked in

Same broom, same floor

Mopping up rubble

From somebody else’s war

Washed-out dreams in a busted locker

Old badge, old scars

Just a tired watcher

Then the sirens scream

Sky turns ash

I see teeth in the smoke

I see jaws in the glass

I said I’d protect you

Way back then

Now I’m staring at death

Like "we meet again"

I’m Kaiju No. 8

Heart still human, bones all hate

I don’t run, I detonate

You want a beast?

I’ll be your fate

I’m Kaiju No. 8

Half your hope, half your quake

If I rise, this ground will shake

Pray I’m early

Fear I’m late (woah)

They call me defect

Call me mistake

Stamp my file red

Pray I break

But this ribcage caged

Something too big

You can hear it when I breathe

Like a loaded rig

Squad at my back

But the trust is thin

They see claws in my shadow

Not the man within

I’m a walking secret

Classified curse

Only way I live

Is by getting there first

I’m Kaiju No. 8

Heart still human, bones all hate

I don’t run, I detonate

You want a beast?

I’ll be your fate

I’m Kaiju No. 8

Half your hope, half your quake

If I rise, this ground will shake

Pray I’m early

Fear I’m late (yeah)

Every punch I throw

Feels like a sin

Every life I save

Burns through my skin

If I lose control

Who stops me then?

If I don’t transform

Who saves my friends?

I’m Kaiju No. 8

Heart still human, bones all hate

I don’t run, I detonate

You want a beast?

I’ll be your fate

I’m Kaiju No. 8

Half your hope, half your quake

If I rise, this ground will shake

Pray I’m early

Fear I’m late (Kaiju No. 8)
