Lyrics
[Intro] Hush now—who crossed the garden gate? Ink-black sleeve and a silver blade One cold look makes the whole room freeze But a sudden smile puts everyone at ease [Verse 1] She’s the hush before the thunder, the spark inside the snow A little bit of mystery wherever she may go Sharp as a falling star, sweet as a lucky charm She turns the dark to fireworks with one small wave of her arm She’s the hush before the storm The clever twist in the waveform Danger dressed in violet light A little strange, a little bright [Pre-Chorus] She keeps a little thunder in her sleeve And a pocketful of wishes to believe [Chorus] She’s the shadow in the night With a mystical heart, though out of sight Magic in her hands As she traverses through the lands There’s music in her stride And once you know her, wonder’s on your side Hey, hey, let the hidden colors fly Because our ninja’s got a universe inside [Verse 2] Hush now, her footsteps on the floor Steel-blue eyes behind the door You see the mask, you hear the blade A midnight promise, cool and made But past the veil, where flowering vines climb There’s a secret brighter than you’ll find Meet her once and you’ll understand: She writes the bangers by hand [Pre-Chorus] Hey—watch her vanish, hear the whole world sing She’s got a secret melody for everything [Chorus] She’s the shadow in the night With a mystical heart, though out of sight Magic in her hands As she traverses through the lands There’s music in her stride And once you know her, wonder’s on your side Hey, hey, let the hidden colors fly Because our ninja’s got a universe inside [Bridge] She’s not the storm you need to fear She’s the spark that brings the whole sky near Take off the mask, just for a minute There’s a whole constellation in it Spin the charm, tap the floor She’s not a warning—she’s an encore! [Chorus] She’s the shadow in the night With a mystical heart, though out of sight Magic in her hands As she traverses through the lands There’s music in her stride And once you know her, wonder’s on your side Hey, hey, let the hidden colors fly Because our ninja’s got a universe inside [Outro] Now you know what she can do Fierce at first, then a little subdued Behind the mask, a melody A little magic, wild and free If you meet her, respectfully bow—but bring a rhyme She might spare your secrets if you keep good time!
