Next of Kin

Our mother always used to sing our praises from the rooftops

Although we caused her trouble you and I were thick as thieves

You fought your demons and deserved to have succeeded further

But you slipped and fell my little Kabaneri girl

Your will was stronger than any of all my powers

Your voice of reason, like a soothing stream beside my bed

When I was terrified you’d talk to me for hours

I wanna hear your voice now

What would you say?

Move on, ’cause I’m gone

Now you’re talking to a shadow

Look there! People so scared

Hit your mark with every last arrow

Be here, ready your spear

The path you’ve got to follow

Is more deadly each year

Their sins were paid in blood so go!

Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh

The sins of all our fathers

Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh

We’ve paid enough in battle

Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh

This is your chance for freedom!

Lots of love your next of kin

You always had my back when everything around turned scary

Words never said to you ah damn my over bloated pride!

You were the best of all the best that any world could show me

Now we fight a war, forever you will be inside

You showed me strength that I had never seen before

It lit fire under me, I seek to quote the words you said

When I was terrified you’d talk to me for hours

I listen to your voice now

What would you say?

Move on, ’cause I’m gone

Now you’re talking to a shadow

Look there! People so scared

Hit your mark with every last arrow

Be here, ready your spear

The path you’ve got to follow

Is more deadly each year

What would you say?

Move on, ’cause I’m gone

Now you’re talking to a shadow

Look there! People so scared

Hit your mark with every last arrow

Be here, ready your spear

The path you’ve got to follow

Is more deadly each year

Their sins were paid in blood so go!

Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh

The sins of all our fathers

Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh

We’ve paid enough in battle

Woh oo oh oo oo oo oh

This is your chance for freedom!

Lots of love your next of kin
