Smoke of the Shogun

Verse 1

Crimson sun crawls over the mountain peak

Steel is heavy on my hip

Green smoke rises from the ancient pipe

The katana starts to slip

Pre-Chorus

I see the shadow wings expanding

Above the temple floor

My spirit finally is landing

Knocking at the door

Chorus

Blaze of the green dragon

Rises from the gold bowl

Master of the iron blade

Searching for a lost soul

Fly on the purple haze

Fly until the night dies

Looking in the serpent's eyes

Verse 2

Stone garden shifts into a valley

Emerald scales flash in the light

Seven demons vanish in the tally

Winner of the quiet fight

Pre-Chorus

The ritual is nearly finished

Mist fills up the room

Strength is never quite diminished

Banish all the gloom

Chorus

Blaze of the green dragon

Rises from the gold bowl

Master of the iron blade

Searching for a lost soul

Fly on the purple haze

Fly until the night dies

Looking in the serpent's eyes

Bridge

Under the weeping willow

Smoke clouds thick and deep

Resting on a silk pillow

Secrets that I keep

I keep

I keep

Chorus

Blaze of the green dragon

Rises from the gold bowl

Master of the iron blade

Searching for a lost soul

Fly on the purple haze

Fly until the night dies

Looking in the serpent's eyes
