[Opening Lyrics]
(Sung with rising tension over deep drums and strings)
[Verse 1 – (Japanese)]
闇に咲いた黒い蓮
運命を裂く刃が今、目を覚ます
隠された影の王子
神も魔も震える声で、名を呼ぶ
(Translation:
A black lotus bloomed in the dark,
The blade that rends fate awakens now.
The hidden prince of shadows—
Even gods and demons whisper his name.)
---
[Pre-Chorus – (English)]
Born of silence, forged in flame,
He walks alone, but never tame.
No crown above, no chain below—
He is the blade that fate can’t know.
---
[Chorus – (Dual-language blend)]
Kokuren!
(Kokuren!)
斬れない運命などない
(There is no fate I cannot cut)
Fall like stars when shadows rise—
I am the storm behind your skies!
Kokuren!
(Kokuren!)
黒き刃が舞う夜に
(In the night where black blades dance)
命燃やして進めば、
永遠すら屈する!
(Even eternity will bow if I burn forward!)
---
[Bridge – Whispered + Growled Vocals]
“Lotus born, death reborn… one by one, gods fall to the sword…”
---
[Outro – Soft, echoing female vocals with shamisen and shakuhachi fade-out]
運命さえ、闇に沈む…
(Even destiny sinks into the shadows…)
