"Ronin" lyrics
I'm a bastard without a master, a disaster
Damned and abandoned, don't know what I am after
No end in sight, wish the end of my plight would come faster
I roam the countryside with countenance alabaster
Waiting for my moment or an omen, a rōnin that is roaming
A samurai pantomime with an anime component
Landscape I can't escape that for now's without opponents
Not too late to find my fate and own it
No family or friends but I guess all things end
A solitary soldier with no letters to send
No parcels to receive, no pretense to pretend
Just my fucked up feet that I wish I could mend
I cannot handle my sandals and my robe is in ribbons
My belt is tied tight so my garb will not give in
My sword forever sheathed, cannot believe how it's hidden
It longs for hearts to bleed, it pleads to do my biddin'
I am a rōnin, a leaf on the wind
Never know where I am going, only know where I been
Horizon not surprisin', the wizened never win
The rōnin never rallies, vast valleys what I'm in
I am a rōnin, a leaf on the wind
Never know where I am going, only know where I been
The horizon not surprisin', the wizened never win
The rōnin never rallies, vast valleys what I'm in
Desolation vacation, a sensation that's somewhat lackin'
No boss to defend, no Sanka save from sackin'
No prey that needs trackin', no hunt that halts at hackin'
Salt on my wounds, I can hear the moon cackin'
Sun makes fun of my malaise with rays too bright to bear
Always squinting, always hinting no one hearing my prayer
An endless road before me and behind me, despair
Want to eradicate the errors that cannot be repaired
I long for blood and battles
It rattles my brain
Nothing matters, I miss the splatter
Blood spray out a vein
Every day it is the same
No town to save, no gold to gain
Is this for what I was trained
Up in the cut with a cane
And so I wander, searching for the illusive
If I toddle into town, I do not mean to be intrusive
Need a job quick, a conflict would be conducive
Being sedentary's scary, sick of walking and excuses
Every man needs meaning in his daily affairs
If nobody is bleeding, there's no reason to care
A katana needs drama, not to sit in a saya
Seppuku's what I'll do if I do not get hired
I am a rōnin, a leaf on the wind
Never know where I am going, only know where I been
Horizon not surprisin', the wizened never win
The rōnin never rallies, vast valleys what I'm in
I am a rōnin, a leaf on the wind
Never know where I am going, only know where I been
The horizon not surprisin', the wizened never win
The rōnin never rallies, vast valleys what I'm in
Damned and abandoned, don't know what I am after
No end in sight, wish the end of my plight would come faster
I roam the countryside with countenance alabaster
Waiting for my moment or an omen, a rōnin that is roaming
A samurai pantomime with an anime component
Landscape I can't escape that for now's without opponents
Not too late to find my fate and own it
No family or friends but I guess all things end
A solitary soldier with no letters to send
No parcels to receive, no pretense to pretend
Just my fucked up feet that I wish I could mend
I cannot handle my sandals and my robe is in ribbons
My belt is tied tight so my garb will not give in
My sword forever sheathed, cannot believe how it's hidden
It longs for hearts to bleed, it pleads to do my biddin'
I am a rōnin, a leaf on the wind
Never know where I am going, only know where I been
Horizon not surprisin', the wizened never win
The rōnin never rallies, vast valleys what I'm in
I am a rōnin, a leaf on the wind
Never know where I am going, only know where I been
The horizon not surprisin', the wizened never win
The rōnin never rallies, vast valleys what I'm in
