lyrics
all of the things we've come to love in life
will never again appear in our eyes
and all of the ways we've tried to make it right
were wasted before we had time to rise
cheating again
trying to break the game we're fed
bleeding again
piles of bodies up ahead
where we're going we don't need no empty promises, oh
there's no time to play dead
fairly hopeless, I know your blood's all over me but
no one knows our secret
all of the strategies we've ever penned
discarded the day we learned our fate
game over means more than just the battle's end
from then on this world will harbor your grave
cheating again
trying to break the game we're fed
bleeding again
piles of bodies up ahead
where we're going we don't need no empty promises, oh
there's no time to play dead
fairly hopeless, I know your blood's all over me but
no one knows our secret
the soul of heavy music is not lost on the Touhou fandom after all. if you grew up alongside Foreground Eclipse or Draw the Emotional, Takamachi Walk are the band you've been looking for. actuallyasriel
