Lyrics
[INTRO - SPOKEN (DEEP MALE)]
I walk through lantern-lit streets
Where honor is heavier than blood
They call it power…
But I call it a cage I can’t leave
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Born in silence, raised in smoke
Where loyalty is a deadly oath
Every handshake hides a blade
Every promise starts to fade
Cherry blossoms fall like debt
Every choice I made, I regret
Tattooed scars on a broken soul
Trying to pay what I’ll never owe
I climbed through shadows, earned my name
But every victory feels like shame
In this world of code and lies
Even truth wears a disguise
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
They told me this was honor
But honor never felt like this
⸻
[CHORUS]
Welcome to Yakuza’s paradise
Where every dream comes at a price
Where loyalty can turn to vice
And every prayer is rolled in dice
In this Yakuza’s domain
You lose your soul but gain your life
And every step you sacrifice
Brings you deeper into night
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Paper doors can’t hide the pain
Blood stains wash in endless rain
Tea is cold, but vengeance warm
Peace is just a disguised storm
Old masters taught me “never fall”
But I was destined to lose it all
Now I sit where kings don’t pray
Watching my humanity decay
Every rival I left behind
Still echoes in the back of my mind
Was it justice or just pride?
I don’t know what’s left inside
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
The path I walk don’t lead to light
Only shadows in the night
⸻
[CHORUS]
Welcome to Yakuza’s Paradise
Where every dream comes at a price
Where loyalty can turn to vice
And every prayer is rolled in dice
In this Yakuza’s Domain
You lose your soul but gain your life
And every step you sacrifice
Brings you deeper into night
⸻
[BRIDGE - SOFT TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTATION]
No redemption in my name
Only echoes of the flame
I became what I despised
In this sacred web of lies
⸻
[VERSE 3 - FINAL REFLECTION]
I don’t fear death, I fear this life
Cutting honor with a knife
Maybe I was never free
Just a ghost of what could be
If I fall, let silence stay
Let my sins just drift away
Because in the end, I realize
This was never paradise
⸻
[OUTRO - SPOKEN (DEEP MALE)]
They say the Yakuza live with honor
But honor…
is just another word for chains
And I’ve been wearing mine too long
