There is an ill wind

Howling through walls

Voice is grim

Calling my name

Inception of sorrow and hate

Darkness is claiming

The rays of the sun

I cant recognize what I´ve become

(Sakura slowly fall from the sky)

(Glowing, faint, dark)

Bushido´s bearing

Nothing but words

Shadows of shame draw me

Imposter, a traitor of blade

The depths of the bleak mist

The realm of the void

I heard Izanami´s voice hollow

Luring, but I won´t follow

Silently!

The rivers stay still

Nor light nor dark emerges

From the nothingness

Silently!

My sword aims for the kill

Dancing like a petal in storm

Cutting through blight

Sakura slowly fall from the sky

Glowing, faint, dark, light

Stillness is gained

Only through the absence of dread

Fear of death is nothing but an obstacle

for a perfect strike

My mind is trying to keep me sane

I´ll run away

My heart is bound to meet my fate

Dying through my foes diving blade

If one only studies the strategy of war

One only becomes a mere student of war

Is the only way to evade the fall

Sacred words of will and dare

Now fade away

The meaning for my path is vague

And in my rage

I´ll take the trail to my disgrace

To run and hide

But my soul is bound to see the end

To fall

And Die

Silently!

The rivers stay still

Nor light nor dark emerges

From the nothingness

Silently!

My sword aims for the kill

Dancing like a petal in storm

Yet now crushed to shards

Sakura slowly fall from the sky

Glowing, bloodred light

Izanami revealed

Her face torn and lurid

Depths revealing under

All oaths broken

Burnt blossoms on the ground

I should have seen the true

Sakura omen!

Horizon with these abnormal sights

Disfigured beings

Screaming gods

Yet I embrace my fate

My downfall

For the battle of mind and flesh

Is now gone

Redemption is done!
