Intro – Low, Haunting, Sparse Instrumentation]
(Soft flute melody over distant taiko drums; wind howls.)
🎶 Born of shadows, born of pain…
No cradle, no mother, just the rain.
A phantom’s child with a demon’s eyes,
Whispered curses under midnight skies… 🎶
[Verse 1 – Story Begins, Low & Smooth Vocals]
🎶 The villagers spoke of a monster’s cry,
A ghost in the woods where the brave won’t try.
But an old man came, with a heart of steel,
Took in the boy they swore wasn’t real.
He learned of honor, he learned of shame,
Carved his life through blood and flame.
A silent warrior, a nameless son,
With every strike, the boy was gone… 🎶
[Pre-Chorus – Building Emotion, Rising Notes]
🎶 And the wind would sing of the man they feared…
But behind his mask, there were silent tears… 🎶
[Chorus – High Notes, Cinematic Power]
🎶 Deadman rides through the fire and snow! (Ohhhh-ohhhhhh!)
A shadow of pain, but they’ll never know… (Yeahhhh-yeaaaahhh!)
With a blade that screams, with a heart that bleeds,
They crowned him their master, but never believed…
OHHHHH… he’s Deadman, forged by fear! 🎶 (big riff on “fear!”)
[Verse 2 – Darker Tone, Low Vocals]
🎶 The whispers grew, the rumors spread,
“He’s a demon’s child! Strike him dead!”
His father wept as he drew his blade,
A promise broken, a grave betrayed.
On bloodstained ground, in a crimson rain,
A hero fell to his father’s shame.
And the forest sighed as he closed his eyes,
A nameless ghost where his body lies. 🎶
[Pre-Chorus – Rising Again, More Intense]
🎶 Oh, they feared his face, they feared his name…
But the greatest curse was their own shame… 🎶
[Chorus – Bigger, Powerful High Notes & Riffs]
🎶 Deadman rides through the fire and snow! (ohhhh-ohhhhhh!)
A shadow of pain, but they’ll never know… (yeaaaahhh-yeaaahhh!)
With a blade that screams, with a heart that bleeds,
They crowned him their master, but never believed…
OHHHHH… he’s Deadman, forged by fear!
The phantom they’ll never hear! 🎶 (falsetto run on “hear!”)
[Bridge – Emotional Peak, High Falsetto & Strings]
🎶 He fought for the ones who turned away… (ooooohhhh!)
He bled for a love they’d never say…
And now the forest weeps his name,
A cursed-born soul who feels their painnnnn! (big riff: “paaainn!”)*
[Instrumental Break – Dramatic Shamisen & Taiko Solo]
(Shamisen plucks a sorrowful melody; taiko drums pound like a war march; flute echoes Deadman’s chorus line softly.)
[Final Chorus – Cinematic Explosion of Emotion]
🎶 Deadman rides through the fire and snow! (ohhhh-ohhhhhh!)
A legend of blood they’ll never know… (nooooo-ohhhh!)
With a blade that screams, with a heart that bleeds,
They crowned him their master, but never believed…
OHHHHH… he’s Deadman, forged by fear!
The shadow they’ll curse for a thousand years! 🎶
[Outro – Whispered, Soft and Haunting]
🎶 Born of shadows… born to fight…
Deadman walks… in endless night. 🎶
(Soft flute fades. Final taiko drum hit echoes.)
