Dance of the Swords

I thought that I fell in battle a martyr
Not left for dead and dishonored
But when I was resurrected, unarmed
I wasn't a wolf without hunger
Now I'll never settle for any katana
Unless it is deadlier, sharper
Because my guarded posture hardly falters
Got one arm, but I'm all the stronger
With death I cannot be bothered
From it, I have never been any farther
Equip an effective prosthetic and slaughter
Anyone who thought I'm katana fodder
Dragonrot is spreading already
And every cloudy day's only getting darker
But the thought of revenge is
Enough to get up
From this alter and start to conquer
All of feudal Japan, who's gonna stand
A chance against me? you can pretend
As is steady my weapon
And prove to your clan
A fight to the death is a beautiful dance
My foes don't know me
I'vee faced and embraced the gallows
Wanna get a hold of a shinobi
You're basically chasing shadows
A master of stealth - I have been dubbed
Lather myself in a geyser of blood
Mortality's well behind me, I'm shunned
From dying - life is kind of my drug
Swallow a gourd, I gotta follow my lord
And if I can't get him back
Gonna fall on my sword
But my defiant corpse rises, wanting more
Less alive, but stronger than I was before

I get lost in the dance of the sword
But when I'm not in God's favor
Life and death strike a magical chord
A lesson learned from my failure
This cannot be the end
Deep inside of my mind, I am writing revenge
Now your blood is the ink
And my blade is the pen

You fear the reaper, I'd snap his spine
I'm an addict no shinobi art is unmastered
Faster than any blow
The mist of ravens evaporating
Through every foe
Been into the depths of hell demon energy
Let it flow life is nothing but a dark, haze
Broken, shattered but my heart, stays
I might slit a monks throat
Laugh until he croaks i am in a dark place
Tell the gentle blade to simmer down
Resurrected I won't let you drown
Ashina castle to the sunken valley
Here to rally, shuriken into their crowns
Finishing everybody in my path I'll
Make it rain blood
Faster than anybody but my past
Is masked by all the ashes and the graves dug
Grapple to battle, shackled to eternity
Purposely, flash into the main flood
Showing no mercy, parry adversely
Throwing an ogre straight into the mud, yeah
Shadows always die twice
Death is gripping like a vice
Deadly butterfly that's passing by
Chilling to the bone like ice
Give me the energy i am the entity
Slay with honor and respect
Prey on my enemies this is my destiny
Grab the devil by the neck

The wolf's inside and hunger's
Coursing through my veins
Revitalize the beast inside before I die
With honor i'm walking
A line completely faded the fearful
Devoted will never save me
With honor i'm walking
A line completely faded the fearful
Devoted will never save me

I get lost in the dance of the sword
But when I'm not in God's favor
Life and death strike a magical chord
A lesson learned from my failure
This cannot be the end
Deep inside of my mind, I am writing revenge
Now your blood is the ink
And my blade is the pen
