【Touhou Lyrics】 Inchlings of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess

Shinmyoumaru's theme. ...The long-awaited final boss of DDC themes! With this, the TH14 lyrical collection is complete. Shinmyoumaru is the boss, but the incident was also strongly enabled by Seija's coercion - so you can hear her here, egging the little princess on.

(Weak, trampled, long forgotten.)
Weak, trampled, long forgotten…
(Crushed, conquered, left downtrodden.)
Crushed, conquered, left downtrodden…

(Caught, cut off, tamed and silenced.)
Caught, cut off, tamed and silenced…
(Used, beaten, quashed by violence.)
Used, beaten, quashed by violence…

(War, panic, shame and squalor.)
War, panic, shame and squalor…
(Poor, helpless, frail and smaller.)
Poor, helpless, frail and smaller…

Rise higher, stand up taller.
Rise higher, stand up taller.

We dream of revolution…
Ambitions far too great for this small scale.
Through long years of evolution…
This is the Shining Needle Inchlings’ tale.

What more can we do?
To answer those who would say that our story is through?

Let’s…

Rise higher, stand up taller.
Rise higher, stand up taller.
Raise havoc, scream and holler!
Raise havoc, scream and holler!!

Aim this point, sharp as a sword.
Meek no more, don’t be ignored.
Heed my wish, perfect exchange.
With one measure, these tides will change!

Make it glow, blind with the shine.
Seize my star, this night is mine.
Make it grow, larger than life.
Peace is built on warfare and strife!

Those born high won’t understand.
Threads of fate, sew by my hand.
We can’t be held back in fear.
Our new world will start building here!

Lift our heads, proud to the sky!
See that truth, brewed from a lie!
From this point, there’s only up!
Who can quell a storm in a teacup?

Rise higher, stand up taller.
Rise higher, stand up taller.
Raise havoc, scream and holler.
Raise havoc, scream and holler!!

Down climb this castle’s spires…
Against the odds, with heaven out of reach.
Still, march on through flames and fires…
And to the gods, a humble lesson teach!

Our fates were chosen for us…
And here we fall on two conflicting teams.
Now, one voice will start a chorus…
I’ll show you all the power of my dreams!

Thunder crash, brave through the rain!
Lightning clash, one last refrain!
Might en masse, weak versus strong!
You were outnumbered all along!

Comrades rise, justice is served!
Claim your prize, so long deserved!
Fight as one, not giving up!
Let’s unleash our storm in a teacup!
