Muramasa Lyrics

Somewhere in time,
We welcomed in the fall
But in the distance we can see shining clear,
Our demise to be;
We're not listening
To ourselves!

You asked these questions in subconsciousness
But still, we choose to deny the flood surrounding nations!

Wake up!
The water is rising, now!
We are the universe inside of you waiting patiently!

All the world, by a thread
Distance the lies that are sold,
(Believe)
They will not justify the pain!
They will not live to see the day!

You completely forgot the second half of the song. This is how I hear the lyrics including the said omitted part:


Somewhere in time, We welcomed in the fall But in the distance we can see shining clear, Our demise to be; We're not listening To ourselves! Ahh!

You asked discretion and subconsciousness but still, we choose to deny the foresaw altercations!

Wake up! The water is rising, now! We are the universe inside of you waiting patiently!

All the world, by a thread Distance the lies that are sold, (But wait!) They will not justify the pain! They will not live to save the day!

Lyric Correction

On further listening I was wrong and it's definatly: "You asked these questions in subconsciousness But still, we choose to deny the flood surrounding nations!"

pretty sure the trilogy is about an rpg type adventure to save a world falling apart. all three parts of it are named after swords in video games

If you notice in the 3-song progression (Muramasa, Ragnarok, Masamune), the common lyrics change from

"Somewhere in time we welcomed in the fall But in the distance we can see shining clear Our demise to be We're not listening to ourselves"

to (in Ragnarok)

"Somewhere in time we welcomed in the midnight leave But in the distance we can see shining clear Our demise to be We're not listening to ourselves"

to (in Masamune)

"Somewhere in time we welcomed in the fall now in the distance I can see shining clear our demise to be we're not listening to ourselves"

Have you noticed that in Muramasa he says "WE can see," yet at the end of Masamune he says "I can see?" This is literally a trilogy about someone watching the world end and all of his family and friends die, and then slowly loses his mind at the end of Masamune. That screaming in the background, where you can make out the words "I CAN'T F***ING TAKE IT" and "GET AWAY FROM ME?" Schizophrenia? Paranoia?
