Lyrics:

Scarlet dawn fractures on hollow grounds
Where sakura petals drown in silent screams
Mysterious depths shadows gnaw at shrine gates
Steel whispers bloom where laughter once grew
The earth coughs up nails and fractured promises
We become the void between heartbeats

Frost-bitten winds carve through our ribs
As we march the horde of nameless faces
Carrying ghosts in the chambers of our hands
Through streets choked with unborn tomorrows
In the cathedral of broken bones
We load daylight into hollowed metal

Iron veins pulse beneath trembling skin
Echoes of thunder cradled in palms
Overflowing wisdom spills from cracked asphalt
We drink violence like sacred saké
Moonlit shadows stitch our wounds with wire
While dawn’s teeth gnaw at what remains

Frost-bitten winds carve through our ribs
As we march the horde of nameless faces
Carrying ghosts in the chambers of our hands
Through streets choked with unborn tomorrows
In the cathedral of broken bones
We load daylight into hollowed metal

Blades of dawn cut through the veil
Where blood-mist dances with gunpowder hymns
Karma’s trigger breathes against our thumbs
Forged in the void where reason drowned
The pact we signed in gasoline and spit
Becomes our only scripture

Tears crystallize into armor
As we rewrite the horde’s hungry psalm
Carving tomorrow from yesterdays’ ashes
Through the labyrinth of screaming steel
In the colosseum of fallen gods
We become the horde that devours the night
Breathing fire into the throat of chaos
Until silence wears our names
