Running running I am still running From the Shogun of the east Running running I am still running Big straw hat hide from the heat Running running through the forest Running running over the trees Chased by men with sharp swords Chased by guilt of real ghosts Clothes smell of tears and burnt ash Memories of despairing screams Stomach is churning, no cash Forever chased, no dreams Only thing that I have, is being free Only person that I trust, is me Don’t need bravery, just need to flee Move in the dark, or they will see Me They will see me, cannot see me Through the shadows, in the haze They will see me, cannot see me I will kill just to escape Nighttime Hide under the benches Closed now Passed out are the henchmen Silent Slip into the night Safe now Until daylight The wind at my back or breaths on my neck Running and ducking, I don't want to check Weaving and crawling, hide from the daylight Jump on a cart, until the night Take a deep breath, winded flight Too many chasing, I don't want to fight Go to the mountain, become a hermit Build up an onsen, I might get rich Or sick Whatever makes the gods tick They will make my future that which they think Will weave my pattern my life as they see fit Sh They can see me, always see me Through the shadows, in the haze They can see me, always see me I will pray just to escape Running alone, they follow along Legs still strong, so they will come The road is long, a bit too long This can go wrong, so very wrong Caught now Out from the benches Struggling Too strong are the henchmen Screaming As I try to fight Cudgel And I say good night Ice cold water on my face Eyes flaring with hate They say its too late To save the dead To make amends Give up my land Pledge to the lords To praise the Gods Their souls have passed The hate is lit Revenge will come I will be gone Fire burn my blood Guilt burn my soul Free to move on They can see me, all can see me Through the crowds, in the haze They can see me, all can see me Look down, now there is no escape
