Breath of the Rising Flame

[Intro — slow embers rising, lone shakuhachi note]
Mmm…
Night splits open again…
and the darkness knows my name.
[Verse 1 — steady, intense, emotional build]
Footsteps on the old stone path,
every memory cuts like glass.
But I keep moving through the aftermath—
’cause the past won’t hold me back.
Shadows whisper what I lost,
say my heart should turn to frost…
but I carry every scar like a cost
I’ll pay to save what matters most.
[Pre-Chorus — tension rising, drums tightening]
Even when my knees shake,
I stand firm—never break.
Fear is just a breath I take
before the fire wakes.
[Chorus — explosive anime energy, rock+trad fusion]
This is the Breath of the Rising Flame,
striking through the dark, calling out my name.
Even when the night tries to curse my fate,
I ignite the storm—yeah, I elevate.
With the heat in my lungs and the will to fight,
I’ll burn through the sorrow, reclaim the light.
This is the Breath…
the Breath of the Rising Flame.
[Verse 2 — faster rhythm, more emotion]
I’ve seen eyes that gleamed like fear,
faces fading year by year.
But every tear I never let you hear
became the steel I’m carrying here.
I charge through doubt like a broken gate,
won’t let cruelty choose my fate.
If destiny is a beast I must face—
then watch me dominate.
[Pre-Chorus — soaring resolve]
Every heartbeat’s a vow I keep,
every promise runs bone-deep.
Even in the dark so steep,
the flame in me won’t sleep.
[Chorus — bigger, choir swelling]
This is the Breath of the Rising Flame,
striking through the dark, calling out my name.
Even when the night tries to curse my fate,
I ignite the storm—yeah, I elevate.
With the heat in my lungs and the will to fight,
I’ll burn through the sorrow, reclaim the light.
This is the Breath…
the Breath of the Rising Flame.
[Bridge — quiet, haunting, then explosive]
If I fall, let me fall forward—
toward the ones I couldn’t save.
If I rise, let me rise stronger—
let my courage be their grave.
(Flame… awaken…)
[Final Chorus — ultimate anime opening energy]
This is the Breath of the Rising Flame,
cutting through the dark, rewriting my name.
Even if the world tries to bind my fate,
I ignite the dawn—watch the night abate.
Through ashes, thunder, blood, and blame—
I stand unbroken, forever untamed.
This is the Breath…
the Breath of the Rising Flame!
[Outro — soft embers, fading gently]
And when the night returns…
so will I.
