The Fox's Curse Lyrics

In a village burned and broken

Amid the ash and flame

A warrior stood with bloodstained hands

And a child who knew his name

The winds of war had taken all

But left this solemn pair

He swore an oath to guard her life

No matter what despair

In the shadows of a shattered land

He found a mask of dread

A kitsune's face with eyes of fire

Its curse upon his head

Each time he wore it, power surged

But with it, something lost

For every strike, his soul would fade

A heart consumed by frost

The enemies came like wolves at night

Their swords a deadly gleam

But with the mask, he fought them back

A demon in their dream

The girl would watch with tearful eyes

As he tore through all who came

But every time the battle ended

He wasn't quite the same

In the shadows of a shattered land

He found a mask of dread

A kitsune's face with eyes of fire

Its curse upon his head

Each time he wore it, power surged

But with it, something lost

For every strike, his soul would fade

A heart consumed by frost

His hands became like claws of steel

His voice a growling tone

The warrior who once stood so tall

Now walked the world alone

But still he fought, and still he bled

To keep the child from harm

Until the man he used to be

Was buried in the charm

One final night, the last of foes

Surrounded them with hate

He donned the mask and knew inside

This would seal his fate

With one last roar, he struck them down

And when the battle ceased

The little girl was safe and sound

But the man was now released

In the shadows of a shattered land

He found a mask of dread

A kitsune's face with eyes of fire

Its curse upon his head

Each time he wore it, power surged

But with it, something lost

For every strike, his soul would fade

A heart consumed by frost

Now all that's left, a fox with eyes

Of sorrow and of pride

Beside the girl who he once saved

He forever will abide

The warrior's name may fade with time

But his spirit lingers still

In the quiet steps of a loyal fox

That roams the moonlit hill
