Cho-Ten was a professional wrestling team that competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling on and off from February 1995 - September 2006. The team consisted of Masahiro Chono and Hiroyoshi Tenzan. Cho-Ten is one of the most decorated and successful tag teams in New Japan history. They held the IWGP Tag Team Championship 5 times and the 1995 Super Grade Tag League. The team also currently hold the record for most reigns of IWGP Tag Team Championship, with five.
Cho-Ten first began teaming up on February 19, 1995 along with veteran Hiro Saito to defeat Hiroshi Hase, Kensuke Sasaki, & Riki Choshu. After forming their alliance, the three became known as "Team Wolf"; Sabu would join Team Wolf as well. Cho-Ten would see immediate success as they received their first shot at the IWGP Tag Team Championship on June 12, 1995 as they took on Shinya Hashimoto and Junji Hirata for the vacant titles. Cho-Ten would emerge victorious and would win their first tag team title. The title reign wouldn't last long as they stripped of the titles on July 7, 1995 when Chono no-showed a title defense, it would later be revealed that Chono missed the show due to his father's death. After being stripped of the titles, Cho-Ten would challenge for the titles 3 times during 1995 but came up short each time. Despite this setback Cho-Ten would bounce back as they won the 1995 Super Grade Tag League marking their second achievement in less than a year.
Hell is getting closer,
don't leave no doors open
Will you save me with a raincoat?
Keeping all levels safe
And when dying feels ok,
I'll leave with a safe way
Will you save me with a raincoat?
Keep me away from the gate
Could you please go home
and leave me alone with my pain
Do I scare you when running away
Left alone in the dark where no angels stay
Caught in prison called time
Will you leave or wait from my sign?
And all I ever do is drain
All those memories who scare in the autumn rain
To bad I have a mortal spine
At the highest point I stood,
awaiting winters disciples
By the time of the fullmoon
I met the wind
Like a coat it swep over me,
the northern wind
It took me where no man had been,
to the lands of christian sin
Over icy lands we rode
I saw the seeds we had sown
Through bloodred skies we marched
Leaving our mark
I truly rode the infernal forces,
now one of them was mine
One of four secured
the rest I'll rule in time
A travel in ancient times,
I've got my scars, my marks of time
Now i've found it, the key of mine
I've travelled far I had to die
Now I own it, this land of mine
I've travelled long to reach this
this imaginary sight
I've lost all worths to be here
at the portals of might
I've seen all there's to see
all there's to hear
Now I'm free
I've been all there's to be
so dark it seems
dead I will be
I watch the dawn, the last of sight
this is truely the darkest night
Release my wrath for one last time
I kept travelling forth as the season changed
Queen december brought crystals of ice
I was soon to reach crist domains
And commanded my shadows to rise
My lust for christian blood grew stronger
A hunger for blood and pain
Compassion I felt no longer
A deadly weapon in the winter rain
A beauty of darkest art
December at fullmoon
A beauty born of sinful hearts
December at fullmoon
In distance I watched them dance
And truly this was their last one
I moved closer at my first chance
And the angels stopped their song
A beauty of splendid art
December at fullmoon
A beauty born of sinful hearts
On my pale horse I began the journey
through landscapes far beyond
I rode through vast forest
far away from the sun
I took a final glimse at the darklands,
these domains of mine
I marched through the opening
with tremendous pride
Riding to battle the christian lands
Riding to battle,
to tear apart the damned
Reaching the first of the villages
So weak they are in mind
I turned their fate in one day
with my bare hands
Riding to battle the christian lands
Riding to battle,
Time had come to leave the mortal world
The only way to reach far beyond
My last word on earth were heared
I killed myself before the sun
I entered the realm of cosmos
as the five points stood high
I woke up in a timeless dimension
where good and evil were the sides
I found my armies in dimension hatred
For ages they had waited
and now was their time
Leaving the mortals,
to track down and kill Christ
Leaving the mortals,
to seek my hate beyond the skies
Our march began as my words were spoken:
This will be the last day of Christ
And there was a massive roar,
My sword was lifted,
as the first one came
so delightful - so splendid to rape
I cut her wide open,
tore her heart
My eyes they glimpsed,
this was blackened art
Riding forth, killing God
I'm in battle with angels
Riding forth, killing God
I shall never surrender
With my spear I killed the second
and father God mourned as hell
I watched him through
the black diamond
These pestilent disciples
never had a chance
The last one came forth
but she truly was a fallen one
She came to join my dark horde
I entered the halls of heaven
I arised for a hunger for god's flesh
Blood to flow, pour it all arround me
Blasphemy destroy it all
Powers of evil
Birthday of darkness
Powers of evil
Dark is the path
Die! I crushed his skull with a hammer
I laughed high, this weak man was no god
I destroyed it all I devastated heaven
God he cried godness was no more
Mesmerized by the path of evil
As the leaves fell I wandered forth
with naked trees surrounding me
I now began to reach the highlands
where frost had it's spheres
Time had come to leave a last greeting,
Azagh my friend, your work has been done,
it's time to travel far beyond
And my pale horse died with the smile of a warlock
Autumn slowly departured as I
climbed the frostbitten mountaintops
I felt my wrath become stronger,
for each day they lost their hope
Finally I was there,
at the highest point of them all
I could see all of the wastlands
while watching autumn fall
As the autumn departured,
the lambs of christ heared the last command
As autumn departured
Ever got a feeling that love may scare
That love is evil and evil don't care
Ever losen hope in a silent scream
Everyday I do in my dreams
More than anything, anything
I'm trying not to wonder, trying not to care
Love is but a sting - devils thing
In peace I never wonder, neither do I care
Never again shall I dare
But on the soulside, soulside
I might see you again
Where no evil hunt the lifetide
Sad To Say
Can't help falling down when all my days are grey
Can't help falling down well it's sad to say
Running, screaming, adore the sight
Bleeding, washing away the night
Tell me could you care for a day of mine?
To watch the seconds sleep, to await the tide
Running, screaming adore the sight
I believe I won't love again
I believe I will hate the pain
In so many ways I prepared the fall
So goddamned hard to repair them all
Seems to me I was born to rage
We walk in different ways
Sunlight, emerged from sinless thorns
Far less than bright
Causing hell in a mind that's torn
The day died, emerged and laughed in scorn
Such a bitter sight
You and I, we'll make the devil mourn
I believe time is closing in
I believe I've paid my sins
Such a fragile state of mind my friend
I'd better fight the demons the devil send
Seems to me I've lost again
Never ever a dusted day that won't fall to failure
Never find that belonging stage in which you're my
saviour
However I try things seem like you'd love to dismiss me
Wondering why, please tell could you care to kiss me?
When times are hard I just wanna go
To the other side and leave this
Private hell I always walk
If I go, say will you forgive me?
Doing it all just to show you time is right
Come on so say you don't leave me
Doing it all, even carved my blood in stone
My evil intensions and work has been done
No more life, I crushed the sun
No more living or dying
No more laughing or crying
Death to all, it was my dream
I've succeeded, It seems
Past conturies, I had my time
Spawned by evil I rised
I lived the spawn of scheitan
I saw it all arise
I have not forsaken
In charge of life's demise
Time to leave, to witness the end
Time to die, never rising again
Leave the earth, never rising again
Leave the earth, never live it again
Back again, for to long closed in slumber
Armed with thunder and lightning
To make the end
What I give is pain, receive my final hatred
It's the night of scheitan
The berzerk has arrived
They're blown away, machine guns bring the thunder
I'm alone disciple (of) all living end
My clips are full, with delight I pull the trigger
A futuristic war, not heaven sent
I arrive with fiery hordes
As lightnings strikes the sky
One assault, all is gone
Wings attack at night
Destroying, all I left behind
Exitways
Never go
Never show
Never leave
Never see
The work's done
The repers gone
I'll be forever around
Twisting, turning bodies sound
Mortals leaving for higher ground
Bleak and are the exitways
Never pleasant in taste
Time to leave
To Receive
Look at me
Have you ever seen them demons passing by?
Have you ever heard em laughing at your cries?
Fight back, such a solid wasteland
You'll never know where the reaper roams
Psyched out, such a solid statement
Going dead where them demons go
Going down the drain in time
To watch them monuments fall
And all you'll ever see is sorrow
Never find your way to go
Have you ever heard them angels singing bright?
Lights strike the sky
As the darkest of night's arrive a fiery sight
I'm alive, fresh is my blood
As the last humans cry
Bombes break the sky
A final raid to erase what's left behind
I'm in command, bombraid aver wastlands
Time to die, to kill the earth in time
To blow this holy place into oblivion
Words scream and cry
It's the day of darkness
And I have arrived
Torments strikes the night
My evil intensions and plans
Get locked in time
Forever say goodbye
Humanity ends, delightful, vicious sight
Too damn blind to see what's in front of you
All you ever asked for, it may come true
But well... join the master's game
Too damn frail to find a future too
All you ever wanted, ahead of you
Then again... you'd rather join the master's game
The theatre's open
Come on girl, welcome in and play
Don't you see? It's a sad thing
A marionette in the master's own game
Too damn scared to cut them strings that pull
They seem to last forever, and so I say:
Look away... into your own reality
So damn scared you've built a fortress too
Will you solve the riddle? The maiden tale
Dominate ways to say, it's an archway
A shot through the heart, going straight down the red
lane
My way, I'd love to drag you down
Wasting my days, such a shame, (to) love the black rain
Run down the rail, being hit by a freighttrain
My way, I'd love to drag you down
Gonna end this way
Can't bring life to a higher stage
Without walking away
I'm forced to drag me down
(No) time to play games
Go away, let the sun fade
Dark is my hear, could you tell me the right way?
So say... would you drag me down?
I'm loosing the game, going straight down the red lane
Dark is a soul that's been hit by a lovetrain
Could you take your time
Look into my eyes
Where angels die
There ain't no laughter
Don't be afraid, a reason to pray
Would you listen to
A little song or two
Where eagles fly
There ain't no heaven
Evil may scare, I believe I don't care
Don't you dare to sleep in time
To walk along this path of mine
To lay your hands in rotten soil
Deceive my mind, my thoughts to boil
Could you care to sail
Deep into my dreams
Where sorrow goes
There ain't no prayers
Life it may sway, joy to decay
Would you care to say
Just a while, so say
Where seconds die
My time keeps rolling
Down the rivers where fury flow
I'll seek the dark, where death may glow
Gonna ride a last time, in the night
I'll thrive on evil, darkened ways
In case you wonder, don't care to stay
Gonna ride a last time, in the night
All alone I'll find my warpath
Kill them deadly darkened ways
Soon I'm gone, don't have much choice left
Going down the devils cage
And you'll always fail to treason
Such a sinful masquerade
And forever dark is the season
Cause I will bring the plague
Don't you weep when I'm gone
I'll never be your crimson joy
Gotta do the "one way", such a sin
Don't you plead forgiveness lady
(cause) once upon... your lips said maybe
Stand aside in a Capricorn night
Doing time while the eastern dies
Time slips, make it all seem far away
Watch the sun sing it's silent hum
Care for none as the season's shun
Time slips, make it all seem far away
And what will the blackwinds find
Well I thought... nevermind
Let's revel in dust cause time and tide
won't fail to leave us by
And what's there to left to say
Well I thought... it might wait one day
Let's revel in dust, come syringe seed
and sit to tell me why
Left to die in this autumn ride
Left in sight til' bereavement cries
Time slips, make it all seem far away
What's won when the season's gone
As the ancient's close the sun
Never trusted you right from the start
Broken promises grew us apart
Thought we'd be together right from the start
Now I never want to ever see you again
Trusted you but now my hope is gone
All the memories left far beyond
Hope is gone
Lost all trust
Hope is gone
Neglection is a must
Hope is gone
Treated you as if you were god
Your disrespect has left me scarred
All those nights spent talking alone
All those secrets shared no one had known
Hope is gone
Lost all trust
Hope is gone
Neglection is a must
Although you never show it
I can see you hurt inside
There's a problem don't ignore it
For only so long you can hide
You've got friends like me
Who'll be there to spite what you might think
Keep it all inside of you and watch your hopes just slip
away Where will you go? What will you be? You'll never
know What you can achieve You've got a choice Make the
best of it Take the right approach Don't you ever quit
Take the time and you will find What's right for you
Don't let life pass you by Stay on track and follow
through Time's too short So don't think twice Listen
up Take this advice We'll be there We're on your side
Count on us You can confide We're on your side Inside
Big mouth
Behind a wall
Talk but they don't know
Behind the screen your world revolves
Rumors, lies, what does that solve
Is it envy
Vexation, or is it just a lack of trust
Jealousy proves you to be [the fool!]
[Sit back] and read the lies
[False facts] are all you'll find
[Mislead] harmful intent
[Damage] the innocent
You talk like you know everything
You think you know what we're about
So tell me why do you
Continue to spread gossip
When you know you have no clue
You abuse the right
To speak your mind
Wish you'd give up
Wasting my time
You tried your best
We proved you wrong
Came out on top
Now look who's strong
You were there right from the start
On eof the few who had true heart
Always there to help us out
Showed us what it's about
You're in our hearts, and in our minds, and in our souls
We won't forget
The things you've done for us
We won't forget
Never forgot the struggle
'Cause you came from the streets
Your influence has hit us hard
As one there will be no defeat
We looked in the mirror
And saw you as a friend
From the lower east side to skinhead youth
Your spirit will never end
Young and old
Yet still the same
Eternal youth
We shared the flame
We won't give up
You know we won't give in
The battle is on
Would you really give it all up? Accepting your adherence
When your passion's pushing you in... A separate
direction
Should you compromise? Sacrifice your hopes and dreams
Just to compensate
Caught up in the middle between the two fighting sides
No one is left pleased this time you cant run or hide
There's no room for error still progression seems so far
You'll have to take that chance
Would you really give it all up? Accepting your adherence
When your passion's pushing you in... A separate
direction
Should you compromise? Sacrifice your hopes and dreams
Just to compensate.. For someone else's needs
Who's on top? We're the one's won't sacrifice our hopes
And who's on top? We're the one's won't compromise our
hopes and dreams
No sacrifice just to join the drones
Of the dull and lame mediocre
Desperate situation decisions made in spite
Because others do it doesnt always make it right
Depend on your friends
For your place in life
Choke on your words
Now you're nothing
You can't complain
Never could sustain
Why hold you beliefs
All for nothing
We put faith in you
Now we see right through
Fake is what you are
One day you'll fall
Lied to my face
Watch you fall from grace
Words you know you never meant
A word you said
I'll never let
You get to me
Your words ring hollow
Your actions are transparent
Like those who follow
Your motives are apparent
Never worked for anything
Well it was always handed to you
One day you'll see how it feels

What goes around comes back around
Now y ou save yourself
When you look deep down inside
You see someone else
All those times we needed you
Your absence caused us
To doubt your trust, your loyalty, our faith in you
Now you can't escape
Was it worth all the fuss
Now you've lost all that counts
That's the price you'll have to pay
You've lost it all
It's slipping away
Forsaken by us
How does it feel?
Back, it's coming back
How does it feel
I made a choice I won't regret
The feeling inside I will never forget
Rejection is something we all must go through
Was it what I did or did not do?
We started it all out too son, too fast
Should have known from the start it would never last
The choices that we make (inside!)
Dictate the way we live (our lives!)
Why can't you see it was (yourself!)
You are the one who's wrong and no one else
The choices that we make
The promises that we break
United we stand
Divided we fall
We're all stuck in this fuckin' world after all
We must come together, stand as one
When all is said and done
How can I escape
From life's reality
Must get away
From this world that surrounds me
Must isolate myself from my humanity
And pull together within
It won't happen to us
What happened to them
If what we have is real
Then we'll.. we'll make those changes work
We will.. something is different in us.. than them
Something is different with you
We'll rearrange for the better
We'll strive to reach what is right
We'll find a way
To finally reach our goal
To climb those obstacles
When it's up to us
We'll find a way
But still we're trapped between the walls
We have to break away
From those inner fears and concentrate on what is real
Commitment.. what does it mean to you?
What others seem I try to make.. things work
Slowly it all falls apart
I start to question its worth
Who do I turn to for help?
It's up to us
We'll find a way
But still we're trapped between the walls
We have to break away
From those inner fears and concentrate on what is real
But we're still trapped
We can't get out
These walls are closing
Still know one knows
They closing in
While ignoring the present
You live in the past
The t-shirt you're wearing
Is fading quite fast
You yearn to be part of something you're not
Yesterday's glories you must have forgot
You weren't there
So why should you care
The music gets prejudiced and it's just not fair
When I see the way you choose to be
You're living in your own fucking fantasy
Secluding us from all your blinding views
'Cause what we preach might not hold true to you
Obstructive obstacles can't keep us strong
We've worked so hard. been trying for too long.
Watch out for the one's who try and bring you down with
Their words their games just symbolize the way they feel
Inside it stems from all the doubt that... comes... it
all comes
From within stems from all the doubt that comes within
Your fooling yourself when you turn away so turn back
Around cause we're not ashamed no i'm not ashamed...
Ashamed of what we believe cause we always made it
through
And it's a shame to see you're just fighting what's
inside you
You fail to see we'll fight until the day we're .. not
... the judged
No we wont be judged and we're not the judged
We won't be judged
Cause we always made it through and it's a shame to see
Your just fighting what's inside you.. you fail to see
We're not the the judged we won't be judged
You should look inside yourself before you point
To put the blame away
We.. will.. fight.. till... we.. wont.. be.. judged
We.. will.. fight.. till...
Play it safe
Keep your cool
Don't rush in
Don't be a fool
The time to think
That time is now
The consequence
You can't allow
You have to know yourself
You have to have control
Or the aftermath will prove
To hurt your inner soul
The evidence is there
Showing you the way
If you ignore the facts
You won't see another day.
It's been a few years now - we're going strong
We've been through a lot of good and bad
Some gave up - they had no heart
For you and me - this world won't tear us apart
From the East Coast to the West Coast
Inside myself I can hear the screams
The style - all over
It may be different - but in our hearts - it's all the
same
Don't forget the struggle
Don't forget the streets
Don't forget your roots
And don't sell out!
What the f**k has happened to you?
You think you're a rock star - you're trapped inside a
cage
You're ego trip has brainwashed you - you forgot the
past
Now your future won't last
It won't last
Don't Forget The Struggle, Don't Forget The Streets
Street kids had your back right from the start
Played your music day and night
For what you stood for, they would even fight
Now your eyes have turned fire red to money green
They've turned fire red to money green (3x)
Never give in to any of their f**kin shit
From the East Coast to the West Coast
Inside myself I can hear the screams
The style all over
It may be different, but in our hearts it's all the
same
I can hear the screams
It's a question of truth
And a matter of honesty
When a straight answer is the only thing we need
Hidden behind all the imagery
Of close-minded personal views
And a man-made creed
Well it's true, we don't know
Where the truth lies
How can we be sure
That it's in their eyes
How do we know what they really stand for
What we need is something just a little bit more
Tangible!
What's to see in an empty sky
We look up just to find out why
(Where's the answer?)
Search for something we can't reach
On out own we must relearn what they preach
It's a man-made thing.. exaggerated
Prophecized.. and majestrated
There is a lesson that must be learned
But when you argue it you just get burned
The question.. the answer.. no one knows
The key can be found in our souls
Well it's true we don't know where the truth lies
How can we be sure that it's in their eyes
How do we know what they really stand for
When will you look and see my pain
Will you come back again today
Don't put me through this living hell again
You left me once before
Why I'll never know
Now you're coming back
But I... I just can't let go
Cause you did this to me
Don't you try to put aside the past
This could work... we can make this last
But I can't forget the pain you put inside of my
heart
I've always wondered why
You left me all alone
And when I needed help
I... found it on my own
You passed up on us
Yo passed up on me
What's to come of all that's left
Will there be better days
This is your last chance
Tell me... if you'll ever change
Now!
I want to know if you'll ever change
Then maybe we can rearrange
What's left... what's left... what's left... what's left
Run. run for those dreams that haunt you
Escape from those lies inside you and never turn around
Just look right beside you
I won't force my feeling if you want help from me
I'll lend a hand. guiding you to see
That we. understand. We do we've all been here before
And we've learned from our mistake
Break free from the tension
Place yourself in the present
Focus on what you have
You gotta move in the right direction
You'll see what's to be gained
If you want help from me. i'll lend a hand
Guiding you to see that we understand
We do you can count on us
Still you're left searching your mind is turning
Searching for... answers
