[Intro – Soft dizi, vinyl crackle] Yeah… Blade on my back, your name on my tongue. Love made a warrior come undone. [Verse 1 – Rap] Silk moon rising over temple tiles, Footsteps echo down a thousand miles. I carved my vows in a cedar tree, Thought honor meant you’d stay with me. Guzheng crying in a pentatonic dream, Gold thread bleeding through the seams. I fought ten men for a quiet life, But I lost my war when you dropped that knife. Ink on my skin, dragons breathe, Every scar spells what you’d leave. Said my heart was a battlefield, Too much armor, never healed. [Pre-Chorus – Sung] I kept my blade clean, But my hands still shake. You said love needs peace— Not a man who breaks. [Chorus – Sung, moody R&B] I was your samurai, sworn to your flame, Steel in my chest, calling your name. Now the wind cuts deeper than any sword, You walked away without a word. Sub-bass heavy like the weight I bear, All this honor, but you’re not there. If love is war, then I lost my way— My empress left at the break of day. [Verse 2 – Rap] Dizi whistle like it knows my shame, Every note just repeats your name. I knelt in silence, bowed my head, You chose a softer hand instead. Said I loved like a storm at sea, Too much thunder, too much me. But I built this code from blood and bone, Never learned how to stand alone. Swung 808s in my ribcage drum, Every heartbeat says don’t run. But you were done with the clash of steel, Wanted silk, something that could feel. [Pre-Chorus – Sung] I kept my blade sharp, But my heart went dull. You wanted springtime— I brought you skulls. [Chorus – Bigger, layered harmonies] I was your samurai, sworn to your flame, Steel in my chest, calling your name. Now the wind cuts deeper than any sword, You walked away without a word. Sub-bass heavy like the weight I bear, All this honor, but you’re not there. If love is war, then I lost my way— My empress left at the break of day. [Bridge – Half-time trap, whispered + rap] No enemy in sight… Just an empty night. Katana resting by my side, But I can’t fight what’s inside. Tell me— Was I too cold? Too bound to codes Written centuries old? You wanted hands that tremble soft— Not fists that never drop. [Final Chorus – Emotional peak] I was your samurai, armor undone, Laid down my blade just to be your one. But peace came late and you were gone, Like morning mist at dawn. Now guzheng weeps where you once stayed, Dizi fades in the vows we made. If love is war, I’ll sheath my pride— A warrior learns… even when love dies. [Outro – Soft dizi, distant 808 rumble] Steel grows cold. Silk lets go. Even a samurai Can’t hold what won’t be held.
