Lyric

Running running I am still running

From the Shogun of the east

Running running I am still running

Big straw hat hide from the heat

Running running through the forest

Running running over the trees

Chased by men with sharp swords

Chased by guilt of real ghosts

Clothes smell of tears and burnt ash

Memories of despairing screams

Stomach is churning, no cash

Forever chased, no dreams

Only thing that I have, is being free

Only person that I trust, is me

Don’t need bravery, just need to flee

Move in the dark, or they will see

Me

They will see me, cannot see me

Through the shadows, in the haze

They will see me, cannot see me

I will kill just to escape

Nighttime

Hide under the benches

Closed now

Passed out are the henchmen

Silent

Slip into the night

Safe now

Until daylight

The wind at my back or breaths on my neck

Running and ducking, I don't want to check

Weaving and crawling, hide from the daylight

Jump on a cart, until the night

Take a deep breath, winded flight

Too many chasing, I don't want to fight

Go to the mountain, become a hermit

Build up an onsen, I might get rich

Or sick

Whatever makes the gods tick

They will make my future that which they think

Will weave my pattern my life as they see fit

Sh

They can see me, always see me

Through the shadows, in the haze

They can see me, always see me

I will pray just to escape

Running alone, they follow along

Legs still strong, so they will come

The road is long, a bit too long

This can go wrong, so very wrong

Caught now

Out from the benches

Struggling

Too strong are the henchmen

Screaming

As I try to fight

Cudgel

And I say good night

Ice cold water on my face

Eyes flaring with hate

They say its too late

To save the dead

To make amends

Give up my land

Pledge to the lords

To praise the Gods

Their souls have passed

The hate is lit

Revenge will come

I will be gone

Fire burn my blood

Guilt burn my soul

Free to move on

They can see me, all can see me

Through the crowds, in the haze

They can see me, all can see me

Look down, now there is no escape
