In the midst of battle
My heart is wavering
Don't let go
From this darkness
Verse 1
Wake up, cold sweat, blood on the floor
Katana hum when I open the door
Say you’re peace but you move like a curse
Say it’s love but it always gets worse
White knuckles wrapped round a rusted hilt
Bow to the blade like I’m drowning in guilt
Say I’m done, say I’m breaking the chain
Two steps forward, I’m back in the rain
Honor code written deep in my veins
Every swing got a taste of the pain
You move smooth, I get sloppy and slow
Every time I swear I’m letting you go
Pre-Chorus (Fast / Chopped)
Circle me, cut the air, don’t blink
Heartbeat loud when I fucking think
One more hit, one more lie, one more chance
Blood on the mat when we start this dance
Chorus (Hook – Dark & Catchy)
Blade clash, feel it in my spine
Say I’m done but I’m outta time
I step back, then I lean right in
Same old war that I never win
(Background vocals)
Tatakai no naka de (戦いの中で)
Kokoro ga yureru (心が揺れる)
Hanasanai de (離さないで)
Kono yami kara (この闇から)
Verse 2
You bow real slow like you mean respect
Then cut me down when my guard gets left
Call it love, call it fate, call it need
Same sharp edge every time I bleed
I wear your mark like a family crest
Carved in bone, sitting heavy in my chest
Say it’s us versus all of the rest
But you’re the one that’s fucking me best
Hands shake bad when I hear your name
Sun goes down, yeah, I’m back in the game
Say I hate you, say I need you more
Same battlefield, same score
Pre-Chorus (Faster / More Aggressive)
Step in close, smell the rust
Say it’s different, say I trust
Eyes locked when the blade comes down
King of hell in a paper crown
Chorus
Blade clash, feel it in my spine
Say I’m done but I’m outta time
I step back, then I lean right in
Same old war that I never win
(In the midst of battle
My heart is wavering
Don't let go
From this darkness)
Bridge (Half-Time / Menacing)
If I walk away, will you hunt me down?
If I stay, am I fucking bound?
Love or poison, I can’t tell
Same damn road straight into hell
I drop my armor, fall to my knees
Swear this time you won’t get me
Hear your voice when I try to sleep
Say my name and the wound gets deep
Final Chorus (Bigger / Desperate)
Blade clash, let the night decide
Who walks out and who fucking dies
I draw the line, hands still shake
Last damn stand that I gotta make
(Background vocals)
Tatakai no naka de
Kokoro ga yureru
Ima owari ni shite (今 終わりにして)
Kono yami kara
Outro (Spoken / Broken)
Same enemy
Different mask
Still standing
Still fucked up
