|| Lyrics ||

It came down from heaven, it fell through the sky.
It landed on campus, was picked up by Light.
A curious thing, this book’s not for reading.

A Sunday school in Shinjuku with ten kids or more.
A gunman takes them hostage. He deadlocks the door.
Light writes his name down.
And the man dies of a heart attack right there on the spot.
It’s a curious thing as he saves all those children.

He runs out of paper, he runs out of time.
Blinded by power, blinded is Light.
He’d kill his own father
If it meant he could end L forever.
And it’s with that same book that he saved all those children.

She’d half her own life for the death angel’s eyes just to show that she loves him.
High on his throne but profoundly alone.
He is and he always will be somebody’s hero.

I lie here awake and I put pen to page, and I stop before writing anyone down.
And with each new day I would feel, in a way,
That I was alone at fault for the death of those children.
Tell me what will you do when the Death Note, it comes for you?

There’s a Kira inside you.
There’s a Kira inside you.
There’s a Kira inside you.
There’s a Kira inside you.
There’s a Kira inside you.
