Lyrics

Fuck the harsh past
Now I start a path with a dark task
Target has been marked as a traitor
Slice him like sharp glass
Blood spilled is for the village
Got privilege to kill, I am skilled with
Infiltration, recon, espionage, and assassination
Put a mask on my face and slash and erase him
If that's what it takes then he's trash in a waste bin
A faction of Satan he has been forsaken
You mad at my statements but glad not to face him
Location is low key in Kobe
Midnight Shinobi's not in sight with a smokescreen
Go patient but don't sleep or grow weak
In pipes I go deep inside it's a gross thing
I must be wearing clothing
In a way so no one there will know me
See a guard who's scared approaching
His uniform I should tear it off him
He hears the sound of my bell now down he fell
Under my spell
Hypnosis is just one of the tricks I've kept
Under my belt
It may be old fashioned
But every ninja knows magic
This is Feudal Japan
And there's no computers, no hacking
Got to take back our secrets
No keys? It's ok
I'm trained to pick locks
No time for a pit stop or to get pissed off
Listen to the clock go tick tock
Bathe in the darkness
Of the graveyard shift
Bathe in the darkness
Of the graveyard shift
Bathe in the darkness
Of the graveyard shift
Bathe in the darkness
Of the graveyard shift
Blades they are charged
With my hate as they are sharpened
Haze it is art
How it plays with your heart strings
Made to be hardened
To slay you like garbage
Just lay in the darkness
In the graveyard, bitch
Welcome to the graveyard
This is where they slay hearts
I know how to play parts
Got them in the the radar
They may stay far like a straight arm
But I kick like Neymar, better pray hard
Like a light switch I pick fights over flight quick
And I sense side kicks coming like a psychic
They don't like it when they hear me on the mic spit
Cause I'm nice with the knife in the night shift
Open the door and I look in
See traces of his footprints
He may imagine what I would think
Therefore he is trying to hoodwink
Guess he thought that it's time to go
I can't seem to find the scroll
After I search for this asshole
I will burn this fucking castle
These thoughts are flooding my brain
But can't right now because of the rain
I can't get mud on my face
But I got knowledge of the terrain
Clouds fog the sky
So I can't use the moon for navigation
Or the constellations
Asian astrology
That magic's ancient
What I see is dark green as I proceed
Through these dense forest of trees
Rain is pouring on me
I reach the end
There's men boarding the sea
He's among them, I go monk Zen
It's important to be
As clear as you can in these waters
Cause this storm ain't a breeze
So we leave this port city
I trail their boat on a mizugumo
Until we reach the shore
And I can be sure he is alone
My presence I've been trained to conceal
For the country, seek behind him unseen
Adrenaline pumping like a junkie
Unreal, somebody bout to smell funky
It's happening
I've grabbed him
I've stabbed him so fast
That he can't even fathom
What is going on
It's time
At midnight
To die
It's happening
I've stabbed him
I have fucking killed him
I'm a dangerous sight like a stranger at night
Ranger of light who might anger to fight
Explaining my plight and my pain when I write
Ain't changing my life, when it's raining I strike
You tumble in to a penumbral area
As a conundrum, that is a scary one
Underneath the thunder I'll bury em
No sun, like an aquarium
I knew how this whole job be
Here and now dispose bodies
Rip clothes off the top see
Perform an autopsy
Like Itachi or Kakashi
Destroy all evidence
No one will ever mention this
Like Nikola Tesla's inventions
Credited to Edison
And set the trend to bend
Reality into fiction
To not cover our tracks
Well, that would just be inefficient
I get inner visions
Since practicing mystic religions
ESP alerts me someone's hidden
Within position
But to prison there's no visits
The job it is not finished
In this mission any witness
Is on the hit list
It's happening
I've grabbed you
I've stabbed you so fast
That you can't even fathom
What is going on
It's time
At midnight
To die
It's happening
I've stabbed you
I have fucking killed you
