War Cry
Lyrics:
[English]
Ring the alarm
Can you hear my sound?
Twilight’s prelude, piercing the silence
Release a breath out loud
The vision-stealing blur
Isn’t it now? Come out
Instinct in my blood
On the far side of that moon ratatat
I scream ratatat
Kick the ground and run forth ratatat
From this den
Breaking free now, I dive into the world
Aye, a distant silver lining in view
Shards of light piercing through
Now is the perfect timing
That’s why we go
Can you feel it?
Can’t believe it?
Can you hear it?
That voice is a war cry
Someone’s distant howl
We resonate as one
Form a herd, initiate a challenge
Pounce on
The young me
Cast it aside, confront the world
Aye, a distant silver lining in view
Shards of light piercing through
Now is the perfect timing
That’s why we go
Can you feel it?
Can’t believe it?
Can you hear it?
That voice is a war cry
I heard a distant howling
You were like me
Won’t be tamed any longer
That's why we go
Can you feel it?
Can’t believe it?
Can you hear it?
That voice is a war cry
Can you feel it?
Can’t believe it?
Can you hear it?
That voice is a war cry
