Tanooki Suit’s song “Berserk” recounts the events of the final scene of the Golden Age Arc storyline from the ongoing manga series called Berserk. The series is written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura.
We watched the moon ascend
We saw the tide turn red
Just like the tears that ran
Down the face of this Crimson Egg
As its scream echoed in our heads
And the sky began to close above us
Here we stand, before the Hand of God
And they offered the best of us
A crown to call his own
It's all he ever sought
But at what cost
The Apostles descend on the Band
And they're looking to add them to
The bodies they stood upon
I can hear him whisper through his teeth
Without a tongue he took his seat
At the price of our lives
We were a Sacrifice
Here we fall, before the Hand of God
They cut us up like animals
With teeth and claws
If only I had died that night
All I have left now are memories and scars
But I can't tell the two apart
I wish that I could show you that I love you
I wish that I could shield you from the pain
I wish that I could return to you the life he ripped away
There's no peace to be found in death for us (x2)
I alone defy
All I have left now are memories and scars
But I can't tell the two apart
I wish that I could show you that I love you
I wish that I could shield you from the pain
I wish that I could return to you the life he ripped away
But I only hurt you (x4)
