Sakura Omen

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
