Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me the story, tell me the legend
Tell me the tales of war
Tell me just one time
What it was like before
[Verse 2]
Bring me the feeling
Right in that moment when a heart for battle cries
Find me the treasure where the legend lies
[Verse 3]
If I were a noble ancient knight
I'd stand by your side to rule and fight
It will always feel the same
When I call out your name
[Verse 4]
Ninja survive
In dreams, I walk by your side
Ninja survive
With you, there's no need to hide
[Verse 5]
A handful of sayings are more than a reason
For me to feel this way
I'd like to be near you
Maybe for just one day
[Verse 6]
So, tell me the legend, tell me the story
Tell me the tales of war
Tell me just one time
What it was like before
[Verse 7]
If I were a noble ancient knight
I'd stand by your side to rule and fight
It will always feel the same
When I call out your name
[Verse 8]
Ninja survive
In dreams, I walk by your side
Ninja survive
With you, there's no need to hide
[Verse 9]
If I were a noble ancient knight
I'd stand by your side to rule and fight
It will always feel the same
When I call out your name
[Verse 10]
Ninja survive
In dreams, I walk by your side
Ninja survive
With you, there's no need to hide
[Verse 11]
By your side
In dreams, I walk by your side
Ninja survive
With you, there's no need to hide
