Lyric

Ashes for a Promise

KENJI TAMURA

They took your breath in a backstreet night

Left your blood on the concrete floor

Sirens sang like a funeral hymn

I was never the same anymore

Your eyes still burn behind my lids

Every scream I never heard

The world kept spinning, blind and deaf

While my soul was torn and blurred

I buried mercy with your name

Lit my heart with hate and flame

I trade my life for one last scream

I’ll burn this world to make you see

There’s no tomorrow, no release

Only vengeance breathing in me

I walk alone through fire and sin

With your ghost carved under my skin

I won’t be saved, I won’t be saved

Till your killers bleed for me

I drink my sleep from broken glass

Dreams taste like rust and rain

Every mirror shows a stranger’s face

A man forged out of pain

Your laughter echoes in the dark

Like a curse I can’t outrun

I pray to nothing, trust no god

My war has just begun

No heaven waits at journey’s end

Just a blade and broken men

I trade my life for one last scream

I’ll burn this world to make you see

There’s no tomorrow, no release

Only vengeance breathing in me

I walk alone through fire and sin

With your ghost carved under my skin

I won’t be saved, I won’t be free

Till your killers bleed for me

If I die tonight, don’t call it loss

I crossed the line, I paid the cost

Love turned into loaded steel

This is the only thing I feel

No fear!

No mercy!

No grave!

No peace!

I trade my soul for one last truth

They’ll know your name before I’m through

Let the darkness swallow me

I chose this hell willingly

When the smoke clears, I’ll stand alone

A heart of ash, a spine of stone

I won’t be saved, I won’t be free

This is my vow — my revenge creed

Your death made me what I am

A living curse…

A dying man
