[Intro]
Night train cuts the silence, iron rails and moonlight glaze,
Hanafuda earrings flash—shadowed streets set ablaze.
Breath held like winter river, blade whisper, heart hammering,
This is the hunt, cold and close, can you hear the blood stammering?
[Verse 1]
Tanjiro steps soft, scar glows, forehead memory maps,
Water curls from his palms, he carves arcs like ocean gaps.
Hanafuda beat in his chest, ancestors in the cadence,
Steady steps, steady breath, every strike carries patience.
He smells pine and grief, home ash and charcoal smoke,
Sees his family in pieces—every step's a vow he spoke.
Moonlight splits the alley, demon eyes like coal pits,
Blade hums a low hymn, steel meets flesh, the story fits.
[Pre-Chorus — Nezuko's hush]
(soft) Muzzle between her teeth, bamboo keeps the silence wide,
Heartbeat like a drum in her ribs, human warmth she can't hide.
Fangs fold back, ember eyes—her calm is a fierce tide,
Silent sister, sleeping storm, in the dark she keeps the light.
[Chorus]
Hinokami — rise.
Blade sings, shadow dies.
Hinokami — rise.
Watch the sun cut the night, watch the flames baptize.
(Hinokami — rise)
[Verse 2]
Zenitsu shakes but lightning loves him—thunderbolt flash, fate's grin,
Fear wrapped tight, but when he falls asleep the lightning lets him in.
Sparks paint his strikes, yellow streaks split the rain,
Coward turned comet—fight or flight flipped like a chain.
Inosuke roars, boar mask bruised, wild lungs ripping cold air,
Dual blades tearing sky, mountain-bred fury, untamed glare.
Hashira silhouette on the ridge—history carved in scars,
Each breath a legacy, each duel a hymn to the stars.
[Verse 3 — Tanjiro's turn]
He dances Hinokami Kagura, flames inked in the rhythm of grief,
Footwork like a prayer, every pivot seeks relief.
Sun-breath memory, scar to flame—he remembers his mother's hush,
Spinning flame, ribbon of heat, cutting through Muzan's hush.
Muzan's shadow stretches, velvet teeth, a city of lies,
But Tanjiro keeps the cadence, fire in his eyes.
Internal thunder, multisyllable muscle flex—heartbeat to blade,
Every strike a syllable, every fall a promise made.
[Bridge — Resolve]
From charcoal ruins to dawn's first hush, the cities keep their scars,
From loss we build a chorus, from sorrow we raise stars.
We hold the ones we've loved inside our ribcage like a drum,
When darkness comes to bargain, we remind it where we come from.
No longer trembling—breath lines the fight, breath finds the rhyme,
Together we mold courage, together we steal back time.
[Chorus — Full]
Hinokami — rise.
Blade sings, shadow dies.
Hinokami — rise.
Watch the sun cut the night, watch the flames baptize.
Hinokami — rise.
Burn the root of the hate, break the curse with our cries.
Hinokami — rise.
Hands to the sky, we reclaim the light.
[Outro]
Sun cracks the horizon, charcoal turns to gold seams,
Breath of the sun, breath of the brave—wake from the dream.
Nezuko at his shoulder, muzzle quiet, ember eyes bright,
Dawn folds the demon's story into the thin blue of light.
