Lyrics[]
Eternal temptation, their eyes to the sky
This nightmare is everywhere, my eyes open wide
Crash on through troubled waters, oceans collide
We stand alone until the end, we fight side by side
Standing strong together, marching forever on
Fire in the heavens, now that our time has come
We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night
The sky will turn black as nightfall appears
The hatred surrounding, they hide in great fear
The evil all around, the sound they will hear
Will not be for long now, the time it is near
Raising hell forever, still milleniums go by
Fire in the heavens, bleeding ears hear the cry
We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night
Standing strong together, marching forever on
Fire in the heavens, now that our time has come
We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja tonight
We feel the fire burning bright in the night
Where the warrior lives and the warrior dies
Wherever you go, we will be by your side
For the Spirit of Ninja will carry the night
With the ninja forever, tonight
