about

When writing lyrics, sometimes its best to focus on personal experience, but other times you want to write about scenarios you can never face. Crispy and Luke often find inspiration in telling stories of fantasy or historical situations. The instrumental is so fast paced it made us think of riding into battle on horseback to face a powerful enemy. These lyrics portray the tale of 2 great warriors meeting on the battlefield and only 1 leaving, securing the survival of their legacy. The Samurai tradition of Harakiri (ritual suicide by disembowelment to retain one’s honour) is a brutal way to die and is a fitting title for the intensity of the song, and an awesome opening track for the EP.

lyrics

My blade, at your throat, you fall to me. x2

As we find time to gauge our zen,
the eyes connect, our pupils dilate,
a threat on horizons to detect,
a tale of two who gained and lost respect

my hands are steady, my gaze is locked
expression blank,
i see your sweat, it breaks upon your brow,
just watch me now

As i swing the sword, this is my final draw,
It’s life or death, your fate is what I choose.
When I choose fights I may lose, but to my honour i stay true
Your death will serve as payment.

(You were born from dust, and to dust you shall return. This blade is a conduit to your honour)

Fighting while bleeding,
Still alive I’m not retreating,
Keep your distance if you cherish your life.

Bow down to me worthy adversary,
My blade separates skin from bones.
Your sacrifice is not in vain,
You brought honour to your family name.

As i swing the sword, this is my final draw,
It’s life or death, your fate is what I choose.
When I choose fights I may lose, but to my honour i stay true
Your death will serve as payment.

What you get for the latency is a front row seat to my legacy,
watch me slice so gracefully, your soul leaves out a vacancy.
You’re on your knees and you beg and plead there’s only one thing that you need,
Take your blade, be sure the price is paid - HARAKIRI
