Dark Crow

• By: MAN WITH A MISSION

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Mezashi aruita yozora no mukou de wa

Beyond the dark night sky I walk across

Tada ichiwa no karasu ga

Just a single crow is singing

Sekasu you ni sakenda

Flowing like a river, singing its song

Tooku mukashi no kioku de wa tada no

In memories of long ago, there's only

Dokuro no kage ga waratta

A shadow of a skull that laughs

Kao mite sou waratta

Faces smiling back at me, they seem to laugh

Yoo oooh

Yoo oooh

So I just bleed and feel the blood I have inside me

So I just bleed, feeling the blood inside of me

Holding to the creed and blade to slay thee

Holding tight to my faith and my sword to slay

Carry on the oath until my last scene

Carrying the oath until the very end

Higher than the sky and deeper than the sea

Higher than the sky, deeper than the sea

Keep your precious justice to yourself bud

Keep your precious justice to yourself, kid

Use it till they're torn become a pile of mud

Use it up until it’s torn, turned into mud

I don't need their choice or voice to judge me

I don’t need their choices or voices judging me

The one and only way I had and always seek

The only way I know and will always seek

Anyone everyone I will crush 'em all

I will crush everyone, anyone, all of y’all

Enemies Let 'em see Now I see you fall

Enemies, let them see — now I see you fall

Kings and gods, Change the odds

Kings and gods, change the fate

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call

Kizu mo kako mo kodoku sae mo

Wounds, past, even my own chains

Nigiritsubushi tada aragau

Clench tightly, just fighting back

Keep your crown, I'll take you down

Keep your crown, I’ll bring you down

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call

Iki wo koroshi tadoritsuita no wa

Breathing my last, reaching for what’s next

Hate no nai naraku no rasen ka

A maze of hatred with no end in sight

Doko made tsuzuku no ka

How far will it go into the unknown?

So it goes on and on not knowing when it went wrong

It goes on and on, not knowing when it went wrong

Like the sand in hand you cannot hold long

Like sand in your hand, can’t hold for long

Carry on the oath until your last scene

Carrying the oath until your last scene

Standing on your own know your enemy

Standing alone, know your enemy

Keep your precious justice to yourself bud

Keep your precious justice to yourself, kid

Use it till they're torn become a pile of mud

Use it up until it’s torn, turned into mud

I don't need their choice or voice to judge me

I don’t need their choices or voices judging me

The one and only way I had and always seek

The only way I know and will always seek

Anyone everyone I will crush 'em all

I will crush everyone, anyone, all of y’all

Enemies Let 'em see Now I see you fall

Enemies, let them see — now I see you fall

Kings and gods, Change the odds

Kings and gods, I will change the fate

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call

Kaze mo yuki mo sadame sae mo

Wind and snow, destiny itself

Hineritsubushi tada aragau

Toughened by struggles, just fighting back

Keep your crown, I'll take you down

Keep your crown, I’ll bring you down

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call

I don't need it anymore

I don’t need it anymore

I don't need it anymore

I don’t need it anymore

I don't need it anymore

I don’t need it anymore

I don't need it anymore

I don’t need it anymore

Boukyaku to tsuioku wo tada kurikaeshi

Repeating forgetfulness and memories again and again

Oboroge ni omoidasun da

Getting dim, I recall again

Ano hi no yume wo

The dream of that day

Your eyes were always telling the answer

Your eyes always told me the answer

What I should be what tomorrow could be

What I should be, what tomorrow might bring

And what it all means

And what it all really means

Anyone everyone I will crush 'em all

I will crush everyone, anyone, all of y’all

Enemies Let 'em see Now I see you fall

Enemies, let them see — now I see you fall

Kings and gods, I'll change the odds

Kings and gods, I’ll change the fate

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call

Kizu mo kako mo kodoku sae mo

Wounds, past, even my own chains

Nigiritsubushi tada aragau

Clench tightly, just fighting back

Keep your crown, I'll take you down

Keep your crown, I’ll bring you down

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call

Anyone everyone

Everyone, anyone

Enemies Let them see

Enemies, let them see

Kings and gods, I'll change the odds

Kings and gods, I will change the fate

I'm the one who makes my final call

I am the one who makes the final call
