Racing through the yellow lights again
Head down in the tunnel of the wind
Breathing like a fuse about to spark
Carrying a glow inside the dark
I’m thin as paper, shaking in the heat
Every heartbeat running on repeat
If I tear, will anybody see
What’s burning in the core of me?
My paper lantern heart
Swinging in the storm
Cracking at the edges
But still it’s staying warm
My paper lantern heart
Racing through the night
Every time it flickers
I press it into light
Footsteps on the overpass in rain
Echo over music in my brain
Every little failure in a row
Turns into the fuel that makes me go
I’m thin as paper, blowing in the blast
Every second thinking I won’t last
If I break, will anybody know
How far this little glow can go?
My paper lantern heart
Swinging in the storm
Cracking at the edges
But still it’s staying warm
My paper lantern heart
Running through the wires
Every time it trembles
I feed it to the fire
If I let the surface fall away
Maybe there is nothing left to save
Or maybe there’s a center made of steel
Hidden in the fragile way I feel
I’m thin as paper, glowing from within
Every crack is where the light gets in
If I tear, I’ll scatter through the dark
A thousand little moving sparks
My paper lantern heart
Dancing in the storm
Ripping at the edges
But brighter than before
My paper lantern heart
Rushing through the night
Even when it shatters
It runs toward the light

Otherworldly vibes × the sharp edge of Japan × overwhelming metal - a one-of-a-kind sound is born. The razor-sharp tones of the shamisen fuse with alternative rock, where the depth and aggression of rock 'n' roll collide. Cutting through it all is a female vocal line - transparent yet powerful - evoking the voice of an elf. Heavy and fantastical, forging a new frontier where Asia meets metal. The worldbuilding pierces your soul. The sound strikes straight through you. Check it out now!
