Lyrics
Tokyo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Embers glow the sleeping fire
Millions lights awake the tyrant
Wait to see the monster start to grow
Now it starts the frenzied madness
Rush to feed the gentle giant
Clockwork motion, now you see it flow
Enter to a different kingdom, like I've opened my eyes
Take me to a higher level, the city's my pride
Driving through the night at 4 am. In downtown tokyo
Always on my mind in the land of the rising sun
Shards of steel pierce through the night sky
Neon suns that steal the darkness
Flashing lights that chase the shadows away
People flow like a winding river
Veins of blood in a heart now beating
Brings to life the start of another day
Enter to a different kingdom, like I've opened my eyes
Take me to a higher level, the city's my pride
Driving through the night at 4 am in downtown tokyo
Always on my mind, in the land of the rising sun
Blinded by the light, the sun that shines in downtown tokyo
Forever I will stay in this place I know I belong
Can you still feel it, a million hearts beat as one
Can you still see it, in the land of the dying sun
Hold this piece of forever, don't let it fade away
Memories they live on and on, in my heart the passion will stay
Driving through the night at 4 am in downtown tokyo
Always on my mind in the land of the rising sun
Blinded by the light, the sun that shines in downtown tokyo
Forever I will stay in the land of the rising sun
