Our mother always used to sing our praises from the rooftops Although we caused her trouble you and l were thick as thieves You fought your demons and deserved to have succeeded further But you slipped and fell my little Kabaneri girl
Your will was stronger than any of all my powers Your voice of reason, like a soothing stream beside my bed When I was terrified you'd talk to me for hours I wanna hear your voice now
* What would you say? Move on, 'cause I'm gone Now you're talking to a shadow Look there! People so scared Hit your mark with every last arrow Be here, ready your spear The path you've got to follow Is more deadly each year
** Their sins were paid in blood so go! Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh The sins of all our fathers Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh We've paid enough in battle Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh This is your chance for freedom! Lots of love your next of kin
You always had my back when everything around turned scary Words never said to you ah damn my over bloated pride! You were the best of all the best that any world could show me Now we fight a war, forever you will be inside
You showed me strength that I had never seen before It lit fire under me, I seek to quote the words you said When I was terrified you'd talk to me for hours I listen to your voice now
What would you say? Move on, 'cause I'm gone Now you're talking to a shadow Look there! People so scared Hit your mark with every last arrow Be here, ready your spear The path you've got to follow Is more deadly each year
