I walked through blood I spilled myself
Kanako’s cries still echo in the shell
Shiva’s wings were clipped by my own hands
Her fire gone, smothered by my command

Names I carved with lightning’s blade
I begged the sky, but the storm stayed

I burned the world I swore to save
White tigers, dragons—I dug their graves
I see their eyes in every flame
And curse my soul, bound by shame
Tokyo trembles, I remain
The storm that rains down guilt and pain

Quiang, you ran—why did I spare?
Your cubs were brave, I didn’t care
Katsuro stood with silent grace
No scent, no scream—just empty space

Their ghosts are clawing through my skin
This penance fire, I burn within

I burned the world I swore to save
White tigers, dragons—I dug their graves
I see their eyes in every flame
And curse my soul, bound by shame
Tokyo trembles, I remain
The storm that rains down guilt and pain

I was a guardian, I was the light
Now just thunder lost in night
Forgive me—no, don’t
Let me rot in the storm I wrote

I burned the world I swore to save
White tigers, dragons—I dug their graves
I see their eyes in every flame
And curse my soul, bound by shame
Tokyo trembles, I remain
The storm that rains down guilt and pain
