Lyric

Yo, let me drop some history, ancient tales untold

From the land of the rising sun, warriors brave and bold

Iga and Koga, two clans shrouded in the night

Masters of stealth, shadows moving in the fading light

Intelligence gathering, sabotage, a deadly art

Infiltration tactics, tearing strongholds apart

Espionage and plots, whispers in the dark

Assassination missions, leaving their silent mark

NINJA - SHINOBI - legends of the unseen hand

Across the mountains and valleys, protectors of the land

NINJA - SHINOBI - skills passed down through the line

Masters of disguise, bending space and time

Shuriken stars flying, precise and swift and true

Katana blades gleaming, slicing enemies in two

Kusari-fundo swinging, chains that bind and hold

Makibishi on the ground, a story to be told

Smoke bombs blurring vision, a quick escape route planned

Kaginawa grappling hook, scaling walls across the land

Ninjutsu techniques, fire, water, earth, and air

Fūma shuriken spinning, a deadly, whirling snare

Hollywood's fascination, ninjas on the silver screen

"Enter the Ninja," Sho Kosugi, a fighting machine!

"American Ninja," Dudikoff, a classic, pure and raw

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, breaking every law!

From the shadows they emerge, a cinematic thrill

But the real ninjas' history, a deeper story still

NINJA - SHINOBI - legends of the unseen hand

Across the mountains and valleys, protectors of the land

NINJA - SHINOBI - skills passed down through the line

Masters of disguise, bending space and time

They walked on water, *mizu gumo* floating light

Vanished in a puff of smoke, disappearing from sight

Secret scrolls and teachings, wisdom of the old

The way of the ninja, a story to unfold

They blend in with the crowds. Maybe that one right there

They blend with nature. The bird singing a lovely air

From crowded Shibuya, to Kyoto's ancient streets

Are they still among us, walking past who also eats?

Could a ninja be your neighbor, your chef, your taxi ride?

Hidden in plain sight, with secrets deep inside?

Perhaps... or perhaps it is a joke and very funny

NINJA - SHINOBI - are they real, or just a dream?

Hiding in the shadows, or so it would seem!

NINJA - SHINOBI - maybe YOU are one, too!

Skills of a phantom, *poof*, see ya, adieu!

...Maybe... who knows?
