Lyric

A single drop of venom in the tea

With a silken smile, I serve it silently

"Good day to you," the opening of the fray

The thorn of a rose strikes in a hidden way

Value measured by the crest upon the wall

Inherited pride before the sudden fall

But my heart is a fortress, cold and deep

A secret garden that I’ll always keep

Lies and whispers, a masquerade for all

Walking the tightrope in the banquet hall

Even my shadow is sharp and refined

Leaving the common world far behind

I shall never lose, no, I shall prevail

Lies and smiles, a dance behind the veil

Even the tears beneath this mask are part of the game

The rose in this cage shall wear the victor's name

In this arena of silk and of stone

I’ll take the glory and I’ll stand alone

A single letter turns the wheel of fate

Every step is calculated, never late

The angle of my toe, a silent decree

Into the trap of my smiling strategy

Vowing to the name that I must carry on

I won’t bend my back until the light is gone

Even in solitude, I stand so tall

Watching the weak ones begin to crawl

I shall never lose, no, I shall prevail

Tears are the weapon when the logic fails

Cold are the eyes looking down at the stage

A battle of pride written on every page

In this arena of silk and of stone

I’ll take the glory and I’ll stand alone

When the moon is full above the grand soirée

Who will seize the crown at the end of the day?

Is it you? Or is it... me?

I shall never lose, no, I shall prevail

Golden are the tears of the winner's tale

Wearing the scent of the bloodied rose so red

Stepping over words that were never said

In this high society, I’ll have the last laugh

Carving my legend on a golden path

Yes, I’ll be the one who smiles

"Gokigen-you."
