LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Under the paper moon
障子に揺れる月
(shōji ni yureru tsuki)
Ink on my waiting hands
手のひら染める墨
(te no hira someru sumi)

Names on a folded list
折り紙みたいな標的
(origami mitai na hyōteki)
I fold and I breathe them in
息と一緒に呑む
(iki to issho ni nomu)

[Chorus]
I swore my shadow to the guild
影を一門に捧げた
(kage o ichimon ni sasageta)
Blade to blood
And blood to night
刃から血へ　血から闇へ
(yaiba kara chi e chi kara yami e)
But my heart keeps breaking rank
それでも心は乱れてく
(sore demo kokoro wa midareteku)
I fail the creed with every life I spare
一人救うたび誓いを裏切る
(hitori sukuu tabi chikai o uragiru)

[Verse 2]
Child in a silent room
泣き声飲み込む子供
(nakigoe nomikomu kodomo)
Eyes like the ones I had
昔の自分みたいな瞳
(mukashi no jibun mitai na hitomi)
Hand on the hidden knife
袖の中の小さな刃
(sode no naka no chiisana yaiba)
My fingers freeze on the hilt
柄に触れたまま固まる
(e ni fureta mama katamaru)

They’ll mark me a traitor by dawn
夜明けには裏切り者
(yoake ni wa uragirimono)
Still I open the back gate wide
それでも裏戸を開く
(sore demo urado o hiraku)

[Chorus]
I swore my shadow to the guild
影を一門に捧げた
(kage o ichimon ni sasageta)
Blade to blood
And blood to night
刃から血へ　血から闇へ
(yaiba kara chi e chi kara yami e)
But my heart keeps breaking rank
それでも心は乱れてく
(sore demo kokoro wa midareteku)
I fail the creed with every tear I hide
隠した涙だけ誓いを汚す
(kakushita namida dake chikai o yogosu)

[Bridge]
Footsteps on gravel behind me
背後で鳴る砂利の足音
(haigo de naru jari no ashioto)
Old master calls my name
師が私の名を呼ぶ
(shi ga watashi no na o yobu)
“Kill your mercy or die” he says
「情を斬れ　さもなくば死ね」
("jō o kire samonakuba shine")
I bow and I choose my grave
頭を下げて自分の墓を選ぶ
(atama o sagete jibun no haka o erabu)

[Chorus]
I swore my shadow to the guild
影を一門に捧げた
(kage o ichimon ni sasageta)
Blade to blood
And blood to night
刃から血へ　血から闇へ
(yaiba kara chi e chi kara yami e)
Now my blood rewrites the vow
今　血で誓いを書き換える
(ima chi de chikai o kakikaeru)
I die a traitor to keep one soul alive
一人守るため裏切り者として散る
(hitori mamoru tame uragirimono to shite chiru)

[Outro]
Under the fading moon
薄れていく月の下
(usurete iku tsuki no shita)
My shadow steps out of line
影だけが道を外れる
(kage dake ga michi o hazureru)
Guild of ghosts behind my back
背に感じる亡霊の一門
(se ni kanjiru bōrei no ichimon)
I failed them all
それでも私でよかった
(sore demo watashi de yokatta)
