(Intro – Japanese Guitar,Digeridoo)
Blades in the bloodstream, rhythm cuts the air (A)
Steps without an imprint—nothing truly there (B)
Pulse ignites like thunder, veins begin to race (A)
Breath becomes a weapon—absence takes its place (B)
(Verse 1)
Ash consumed the temple, silence crowned the flame (A)
Prayer beads cracked in cinders, none remained to name (B)
He rose from the ruin, stripped of what he’d been (A)
Not a monk, not mortal—something in between (B)
(Pre-Chorus)
Steel without emotion, guided, cold and dry (A)
Faster than the question forming “how” or “why” (B)
Every nerve a trigger, every motion clean (A)
He became the strike no witness ever seen (B)
(Chorus)
NINJA LEGEND — feel the cut before it’s made (A)
Wind against your skin and you are already flayed (B)
NINJA LEGEND — no reflection, no descent (A)
Turn to face the void—your final breath is spent (B)
(Verse 2)
Guards dissolved like echoes never meant to stay (A)
Iron doors fell open, metal lost its say (B)
Hounds lay down in silence, eyes refused to fight (A)
As if drawn by currents drifting out of sight (B)
(Guitar Solo – with Didgeridoo)
(Lead tears through the scale, rapid, burning tone)
(Didgeridoo below, deep earthbound drone)
(Ancient breath entwined with steel and speed)
(Circular pulse beneath the strike and bleed)
(Breakdown / Duel)
Empty halls await him, ruler standing still (A)
“I have felt you nearing”—voice of iron will (B)
“I was always moving,” came the quiet end (A)
Two fates drawn together none could ever bend (B)
Blades aligned in union, neither chose to yield (A)
One shared fatal instant sealed the final field (B)
Steel within each other, sinking to the ground (A)
Kneeling face to face without a single sound (B)
(Final Chorus)
NINJA LEGEND — both the hunter and the blade (A)
Two hearts pierced as one in the choice they made (B)
NINJA LEGEND — no surrender, no lament (A)
In the same last breath, their destinies were spent (B)
(Outro)
Dawn revealed them silent, locked in last descent (A)
No one stood as victor—none were heaven-sent (B)
Wind became a whisper none could comprehend (A)
Thus the monk was written… legend without end (B)
