Sakura Omen



Lyrics

There is an ill wind howling through walls
Voices grim calling my name
Inception of sorrow and hate

Darkness is claiming the rays of the sun
By closing my eyes I realize
I can't recognize what I've become

Sakura slowly fall from the sky
Glowing faint dark light

Bushido's bearing
Nothing but words
Shadows of shame draw me
Impostor, 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 or 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 foe's diving blade

"If one only studies the stratagy of war
One only becomes a mere student of war
By knowing the shallow, the deep, the small
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 or 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've 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
