🎵 Full Lyrics
[Verse 1]

Small hands trembling in the dark,
Ashes falling where my home once stood.
Mama’s voice lost in the smoke,
I reach for her… but I can’t.
I can’t.

The world was warm just yesterday,
Soft laughter in the morning sun.
Now every breath is stained with fear—
A child crying where no one hears.

[Pre-Chorus]

Why did the stars not save us?
Why did the gods turn away?
I was only eight years old…
Too young to hold this pain.

[Chorus]

Hear the breaking of a little ronin’s heart—
Shattered in the fire, torn apart.
I scream but only silence answers me…
I fall to my knees where my family used to be.

If sorrow had a name, it would be mine.
If darkness had a face, it would look like this night.
I’m only a child…
But the world expects me to survive.

[Verse 2]

Footsteps echo in the empty halls,
Ghosts of laughter on the burned-down walls.
I clutch the memory of their touch—
It fades away, it’s never enough.

The wind repeats the last words I heard,
But even they begin to blur.
I close my eyes to see them clear—
The more I try, the more they disappear.

[Bridge]

If I could trade my breath for theirs, I would.
If I could burn in place of them, I would.
But fate is cruel to the smallest souls…
It left me with nothing… and called it “destiny.”

[Chorus 2 — Final]

Hear the breaking of a little ronin’s heart—
A child forged in sorrow from the start.
The night steals everything he cannot hold,
Leaving him alone… in a world grown cold.

If tears could bring them back, I’d drown the sky.
If love could win a war, they’d still be alive.
But all I have is pain…
And the promise I will rise.

[Outro – Japanese]
ママ…パパ… ‎まだここにいるよ。
‎まだ頑張ってるよ。
‎でも、本当に…本当に孤独なんだ。
(Mama… papa… mada koko ni iru yo.
Mada ganbatteru yo. Demo, hontōni…
hontōni kodokuna nda.)
