Unleash the Dragon

Let me tell you a tale of two dragons
Their destiny interwined
Both born and bred to become assassins
But their choices were unaligned

They've battled on earth and sky
With blade and bow, by heart and mind
You've drawn your sword, I draw the line
We walk as mortals, but were once divine

Back from the dead, you've returned to haunt me
I embrace my fate, it smiles upon me
Change your course, it is still not too late
I hope you brought more than a handful of blades

Never thought I'd fall by my brother's hand
I turned my back on the Shimada clan
You are more machine now than you are a man
Then you'd better not let me walk away again

In Hanamura we both fell from grace
You escaped unscathed, have you seen my face?
You forced my hand, it was my duty
You risk so much, after all you did to me

My brother is dead, you are Genji no longer
Despite your conviction, how far you have wandered
To fine peace, let me show you how
Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau

My aim is true but my mind is conflicted
My sword is sharp but my strike is restricted
Two dragons, long at war
The arrow and the sword
Unyielding, hear them roar
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon

I'm trained with speed, allied with dark
But my arrow will find its mark
Have you forgotten how to use a blade?
I put my down, for your sake

Your hand is steady, but you feel uncertain
To slay my brother is my greatest burden
I killed your body, but my mind is strong
Now that the dragon and I are one

Surrender Genji, you know you can't win
I'm his shadow, here to avenge him
Back to the grave is where I will send him
With death comes honor, with honor, redemption

You speak of honor? You betrayed your brother
You disgraced the clan, disobeyed our father
Hanzo, you are not who you once were
Spare me the talk, I am not deterred

Am I a fool to think there is hope for you?
All this time with a machine distorts you
Flow like water, swift as the wind
Honor the fallen, even your kin

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
My death will come, but not today
I balance life and death on my blade
Ryuujin no ken wo kurae

The dragon wakes as my blade becomes thirsty
Laugh in your face when claim to be worthy
Though I was stripped of wings
Death is the gift I bring
Let mortals hear me sing
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon

Even here I feel an outcast
I still have much to learn
See the world through the dragon's eyes
And watch it burn

Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau
Ryuujin no ken wo kurae
Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau
Ryuujin no ken wo kurae
Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau
Ryuujin no ken wo kurae
Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau
Ryuujin no ken wo kurae

You defied the elders, now you know the cost
I left you at the mercy of overwatch
But I reconciled my spirit and body
With such wisdom you never taught me

We coul've ruled together, but I made my choice
Fool, just as when we were boys
This time brother, I will not falter
This temple is your home no longer

My aim is true but my mind is conflicted
My sword is sharp but my strike is restricted
Two dragons, long at war
The arrow and the sword
Unyielding, hear them roar
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
Unleash the dragon
