Breath in! 

To those who say suburban dads in their 40s can't learn to rap, I say ... well, you maybe right. But the sax solo by @Dynameks makes up for it!

(Verse 1)
The wind sings a dirge, across the icy plain
Bloodstains on the dirt, a story of pain
We've raided far and wide, with axes keen and bright
But battles left behind, no longer fill our sight

(Chorus)
Vikings, it's time to go home
The call of the North, it echoes in our bones
Across the storm-tossed seas, our longboats will sail
To hear the laughter of children, In the safe embrace of home

(Verse 2)
The halls of Valhalla, hold promises of might
But there's a longing in our hearts, for the fire's gentle light
For wives and sons, and the land where we were born
For fields of green and barley, where we'll spend the coming morn

(Chorus)
Vikings, it's time to go home
The call of the North, it echoes in our bones
Across the storm-tossed seas, our longboats will sail
To hear the laughter of children, In the safe embrace of home

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Vikings, it's time to go home
The call of the North, it echoes in our bones
Across the storm-tossed seas, our longboats will sail
To hear the laughter of children, In the safe embrace of home

Verse 1
I move through my own life like a shadow,
A specter passing through walls of silence.
Am I really here
If no one ever meets my gaze?
If no eyes lock with mine,
Do I vanish into the space between moments?

Chorus
I am the ghost that haunts myself.
Trapped in a mirror that never reflects.
I scream, but only the void replies.
Can I be real, if I’ve never been seen?

Verse 2
I speak into the air,
Words evaporating before they can be heard.
If no one listens,
Does my voice even exist?
If the echoes die in silence,
Am I just a whisper in an empty room?

Chorus
I am the ghost that haunts myself.
Trapped in a mirror that never reflects.
I scream, but only the void replies.
Can I be real, if I’ve never been seen?

Bridge
There’s no sensation, only numbness.
No warmth, no touch.
If my skin feels nothing but the cold,
If there’s only pain,
Do I have a body, or am I just a memory?
How can I be
When I’m only the ache inside my bones?

Chorus
I am the ghost that haunts myself.
Trapped in a mirror that never reflects.
I scream, but only the void replies.
Can I be real, if I’ve never been seen?

Outro
I drift through these rooms, unseen, unheard.
Haunting presence inside myself.
I am the ghost in a life I can't escape.
A reflection lost forever,

Reflections

Haunting Myself

[Verse]
Feeling the weight
Oh-oh
It's heavy (heavy)
World on my chest
Oh it's crazy (crazy)
Heart's beating fast
I can't slow down (down)
Spinning around
Oh-oh
I might drown (drown)

[Verse 2]
Lights flashing bright
Oh it's blinding (blinding)
Searching for peace
But not finding (finding)
Pressure so high
It just won't stop (stop)
Climbing so fast
Will I reach the top? (top)

[Chorus]
Lost in the night
Overwhelmed (ooh-yeah!)
Lost in the fight
Can't find myself (oh-oh)
Lost in the night
Gotta break free (free)
Lost in the night
Oh can't you see? (see)

[Bridge]
Breathin' in deep
But it's shallow (shallow)
Voices around
Hard to follow (follow)
Need to break through
Find my own way (way)
Dance through the pain
I will not sway (sway)

[Verse 3]
Tears in my eyes
But I'm smiling (smiling)
Music so loud
It's beguiling (guiling)
Feet to the beat
Can't stop dancing (dancing)
Life's overwhelming
Still I'm grinding (grinding)

[Chorus]
Lost in the night
Overwhelmed (ooh-yeah!)
Lost in the fight
Can't find myself (oh-oh)
Lost in the night
Gotta break free (free)
Lost in the night
Oh can't you see? (see)

[Verse 4]
Comm's buzzing loud
Notifications calling (calling)
Social media's lies
Keep on falling (falling)
Fake smiles and likes
A deceiving game (game)
Lost in the noise
Who's really to blame? (blame?)

[Chorus]
Lost in the night
Overwhelmed (ooh-yeah!)
Lost in the fight
Can't find myself (oh-oh)
Lost in the night
Gotta break free (free)
Lost in the night
Oh can't you see? (see)

[Outro]
Trying to breathe
In this crowded space (space)
Seeking connection
But feeling out of place (place)
Longing for calm
In this chaotic scene (scene)
Searching for truth
What does it all mean? (mean?)

Lost In The Night

If You Want Out

Somewhere, Within, Between

Go-Go Yubari:

The young girl in the schoolgirl uniform is O-Ren's personal bodyguard seventeen year old Go-Go Yubari.  Go-Go maybe young but what she lacks in age, she makes up for in madness.

Dialogue:

The Bride: Go-Go, I know you feel you must protect your mistress, but I beg you, walk away.

Go-Go: Sore o monogoi to iu nodesu ka? Sore yori mo jōzu ni monogoi o suru koto ga dekimasu.

Verse 1:

Yubari, just seventeen, looking for a place to stay,
She's killing time as madness descends, O-Ren Ishii and a guarded display.

Chorus 1:

Shy-girl, you ain't seen nothing yet,
Dead eyes, killing with no regret,
Sad face, looks so innocent,
Yubari by name, from the darkness she's sent.

Middle 16:

Verse 2:

Arrival, the House of Blue Leaves, O-Ren she senses but evil deceives,
Yubari she searches but nothing's found, stay on alert for the triggers of sound.

Chorus 2:

Shy-girl tenses, knows it ain't right,
Dead eyes fixing, intellect bright,
Sad face set, gonna end it all,
Yubari she's ready, and Ishii won't fall.

Verse 3:

A final stand, a nemesis, two girls face each other,
One's a killer, the second a thief, fight to the death cos there ain't no relief.

Chorus 3:

Shy-girl stance, invite her on,
Dead eyes focus, fear is gone,
Sad face shines, life slips away,
Go-Go Yubari, yeah this is your day.

Go-Go Yubari
