Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro - The sound of a deep bell, the creaking of old wood and the howling of the wind. The rhythm is slow and heavy.) (Verse 1 - Cole - Breathlessly, the voice echoes as if in an empty hall) Go away! I have it, the scroll is in my hands! I hear the whispers that hide in the corners, in the torment. Yang's temple is collapsing, our time is running out, I feel the floor swaying beneath me. One more step, one more step, to the light, to the gate, I will not let this scroll fall into the wrong hands!(Pre-chorus - Cole - Panic mixes with determination) The light is fading, the first ray of dawn is breaking, I feel the cold that grips my ankles. I can't make it... No! I have to give it! My body is heavy, I'm starting to get scared! (Chorus - Cole - Voice is distorted now, with an echo effect) You won't see me anymore, I'm just a shadow, Cursed by the temple, full of old sins! I've lost weight, I've lost ground, I'm just a draft in this house of evil. I'm no longer a rock, I'm just smoke, How can I be a ninja if I'm not one of them anymore?(Verse 2 - Cole - Silently, trying to reach his hands) I look through myself, I see only emptiness and darkness, My hands are made of fog, I fall into a dream. I can't feel the touch anymore, I can't feel the heartbeat anymore, Everything I was has melted away in this fog. The boys are looking for me, I hear their voices, But now I'm a prisoner who stopped his time. (Bridge - Cole - Energetic transition to Rock, defiant) Even though I'm a ghost, my strength is in the heart! The earth hears me, even in this black night! Maybe I'm different, maybe I'm a shadow, But I won't let my brothers face the bad guys! I'll lift these boulders even if I don't have a palm, This is my fate, this is my toll!(Chorus - Cole) You won't see me anymore, I'm just a shadow, Cursed by the temple, full of old sins! I've lost weight, I've lost ground, I'm just a draft in this house of evil. I'm no longer a rock, I'm just smoke, How can I be a ninja when I'm no longer one of them? (Outro - Music fades to a quiet ambient, the sound of Master Yang's distant whisper) I'm a ghost... But I'm still Cole. A rock that flies. (The song ends with the sound of the heavy temple doors closing)
