lyrics

(Verse 1)
The tale of Zatoichi continues
What's on the menu?
I don't mean to intrude
You know I can't SEE what I get into
But it's ten of you
And to the blade
You look identical
A massure
May I interest you?
I advise you not to move
Don't get too physical
You heard the tales of the lightning sword
And how they end too
There's more to the cane handle
The speed of light
Slice the candle in half
Right in front of you
But it won't split until I leave the room

(Hook)
The falling leaf doesn't hate the wind
Drift through a town
Touch down
I'm on the move again
Darkness is my ally
Come find me if you can
Is there a paradise in the end?
I know we need it
If there's a paradise in the end
I couldn't see it...

(Verse 2)
With no light
Your eyes betray you
Soon as your blade moves
Every one of my senses
Sharp as the cane too
I enjoy gambling as much as the next man
No cashing in chips if you a dead man

(Hook)
The falling leaf doesn't hate the wind
Drift through a town
Touch down
I'm on the move again
Darkness is my ally
Come find me if you can
Is there a paradise in the end?
I know we need it
If there's a paradise in the end
I couldn't see it...

(Verse 3)
Under the watchful eye of the sun
I'm against violence
But if you could please keep it down
And try to lose your life in silence
Untouchable
On the road
I travel alone
Couldn't risk the lives of others
While my past is in tow
That's my only route
All the skill in the world
But couldn't save the one's I care about
My self worth sinks lower
Through all my whereabouts
Trying to find purpose
As the earth spins
We'll be beneath it
Clearing out space
So the circle can be completed
Karma
Trying to balance my past with every deed quick
Thrive on simplicity
All this life is a mystery
How could helping others lead to misery?

(Hook)
The falling leaf doesn't hate the wind
Drift through a town
Touch down
I'm on the move again
Darkness is my ally
Come find me if you can
Is there a paradise in the end?
I know we need it
If there's a paradise in the end
I couldn't see it...

(Verse 4)
My swords Immortal Tip
I repent for my past on behalf of the less fortunate
The story is
Ghosts from my past
Drug me through all of hell
I've fallen
Accordingly
But most importantly
Truly caught myself
I know how deep the bottom dwells
When all has failed
And often
All you find is
You could really blame it all on self

(Hook)
The falling leaf doesn't hate the wind
Drift through a town
Touch down
I'm on the move again
Darkness is my ally
Come find me if you can
Is there a paradise in the end?
I know we need it
If there's a paradise in the end
I couldn't see it...
