Moonlight on the mountain snow
Silent paws where the cold winds blow
From the pines a whisper flows…
“Nyan… the ninja rise.”
⸻
Verse 1
High in the peaks of old Edo nights
Lanterns glow, but we stay out of sight
Claws like stars, eyes burning bright
Guarding villages till morning light
Down by the harbor pirate rats creep
Stealing rice while the townfolk sleep
But shadows move along the beams
Silent hunters in moonlit dreams
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Step by step through the cedar trees
Hear the wind say “Nin-ja Nya!”
Steel like lightning in the breeze
We strike fast then disappear
⸻
Chorus (catchy pop hook)
Shadow paws in the midnight sky
Ninja cats and we never die
From the mountains we descend tonight
To chase those pirate rats away
Claws flash bright in the lantern glow
Hear the village bells below
Edo nights where the legends play
Ninja cats save the day — Nya!
⸻
Verse 2
Black silk masks and tails held high
Leaping rooftops as we pass by
Ancient code, the feline way
Protect the peace of old Edo Bay
Rats with sails on their stolen ships
Whisper plans with greedy lips
But they tremble when the shadows fall
When the ninja cats make their call
⸻
Dance Break / Rap style
Step — leap — vanish in the mist
Whiskers sharp like a silver twist
Climb the shrine gate, flip the wall
Pirate rats better run or fall
Night wind whispers “Nyan-nyan-go!”
Strike like thunder, silent snow
Guardians of the mountain side
Ninja pride we cannot hide
⸻
Final Chorus (big idol ending)
Shadow paws in the moonlight glow
From the peaks to Edo below
When the pirate rats appear
Ninja cats are always near
Hear the drums and the temple bells
Ancient story the night still tells
From the mountains far away
Ninja cats save the day — Nya!
⸻
Outro
In the mountains where the cherry blossoms fall…
If you listen close at night…
You might hear soft paws on the wind.
