Rōnin

[Intro: Matt Heafy]

Still, I still feel you inside these broken bones

These scars are maps, legends foretold

My blade is weathered, covered with a coat

The blood of many I have poured

Down to the soil, my anger quenched the pain

Of ancient grounds that I have stained

The heads of many that will still be claimed

Are but warnings for the foes

Who try to capture everything of ours

Slaughtered people, slavеs to starve

Skies, be my witnеss, I will rid the Earth

Of the scourge who took our blood

[Refrain: Matt Heafy]

Standing on the plains

I am taken away

Carried through the gates

I will avenge my name

This rage shall not be tamed

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]

Our lands are threatened by an invisible force

The concept of hatred: both spoken and verse

Plaguing the people, it poisons the mind

Teaching to hate that which is not their kind

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Not one with the undead

Nor fodder for the live and fiending

I'm a challenger of every horde

That would try to live by loathsome reason

Take me back to the times when it was safe

Back where the rivers flowed, free by the lakes

[Refrain: Matt Heafy]

Standing on the plains

I am taken away

Carried through the gates

I will avenge my name

This rage shall not be tamed

[Verse 2: Gerard Way]

Our lives are challenged by an invulnerable swarm

They know only hatred, fear, and discourse

Gathering strength so that I may defeat

These monsters, whose minds are corrupt with disease

[Chorus: Gerard Way]

Not one with the undead

Nor fodder for the live and fiending

I'm a challenger of every horde

That would try to live by loathsome reason

Take me back to the times when it was safe

Back where the rivers flowed, free by the lakes

[Refrain: Matt Heafy]

Standing on the plains

I am taken away

Carried through the gates

I will avenge my name

This rage shall not be tamed

[Guitar Solo: Ihsahn]

[Intro Reprise: Matt Heafy]

Still, I still feel you inside these broken bones

These scars are maps, legends foretold

My blade is weathered, covered with a coat

The blood of many I have poured

Down to the soil, my anger quenched the pain

Of ancient grounds that I have stained

The heads of many that will still be claimed

Are but warnings for the foes

Who try to capture everything of ours

Slaughtered people, slaves to starve

Skies, be my witness, I will rid the Earth

Of the scourge who took our blood

[Refrain: Matt Heafy]

Standing on the plains

I am taken away

Carried through the gates

I will avenge my name

This rage shall not be tamed
