Ghost of Kyoto

Chorus

White face paint

White face paint

A cross for her mother

A sword for her saint

Vengeance in a bottle

Blood on the gate

Death is her name

Death is her state

Verse 1

Paper screens rip wide

Heavy black suits slide inside

Father hits the mat

Bullet holes where he sat

Chorus

White face paint

White face paint

A cross for her mother

A sword for her saint

Vengeance in a bottle

Blood on the gate

Death is her name

Death is her state

Verse 2

Up the hill she climbs

To forget the bad crimes

Grandpa taught her grip

Watch the iron edge slip

Chorus

White face paint

White face paint

A cross for her mother

A sword for her saint

Vengeance in a bottle

Blood on the gate

Death is her name

Death is her state

Bridge

Heave the spear

Heave the blame

Heave the fear

The steel remembers

The rosary bleeds

The shadow hungers

The target recedes

Chorus

White face paint

White face paint

A cross for her mother

A sword for her saint

Vengeance in a bottle

Blood on the gate

Death is her name

Death is her state

Post-Chorus

Death
