Death Note Rap

What would you do if you had the power
To control the fate of any human at your command?
I know what I’d do, my thirst for justice has kicked in
And my intellect will start to rise again
Now that I have everything I need, I’m the key
The scholar who’ll revive this withered place, you see
They call it the world, where in just a single second
So many innocent lives fall into the deepest pit, reckon?
And I’m their key, the savior of this wretched land
I act alone, I don’t need a helping hand
Some might cheer me on, others might fear me
But I’m a god with a notebook and a pen between my fingers, clearly
Shinigamis watch me, they seem like visual kings
I see in their eyes that they fear me like a king
And not even the best detective in the world
Could match or stop my potential, unfurled
I already have thousands of names, and all men fear me
I see it’s my threatening presence that keeps them from being free
Cold, frivolous, sadistic, calculating, it’s been a while since I felt love for any being
They can’t see they’re just pawns in this chess game, I’m seeing

I want to see your red blood spilling out
I’m the main character, the cause of these corpses, no doubt
Loved and hated, I follow and respect my codes
Do you hear the bells as I fire my cannons, it explodes?
No one thinks they’re just a puppet on a string
But they’re all the path that guides me to my thing
No dirty little brat can stop my feet
Because I have a goal and I know what it means

(No one knows me but I strike from the shadows
Everyone recognizes the value of this, my show
No one knows me but I strike from the shadows
Everyone recognizes the value of this, my show)

What revolution happens without death?
I can’t leave it up to chance, that’s a threat
I’m the all-knowing and all-powerful judge
And I move forward following the law of the strongest, no grudge
You’ve got only forty seconds left
And it’s my pen that dictates your path, bereft
With my notebook, I’ll drown you in death
Bow down and plead to the god of the new world, take a breath!
