Seigi, meiyo, chuusei Sensou, hakai, doki Segi, meiyo, yuuki Shini gami Meiun Seigi, meiyo, chuusei Demon to others, angel to no one those seen him for real haven't lived to tell Lives by the sword, bathes in blood, seeks for trouble It's said "face him, hear your funeral bell" Born after 18 moons, stained with dishonor Evil from birth, cast away by his parents, Oniwaka - The Devil's Child "Enemies shiver and flee, though he faces armies alone" Death through this deformed figure "Ruins he leaves behind him, chaos he sees to come" Seeking one to set him free "One by one even those calling him a companion disappear" Going on until defeat "Alone, he stands, daring to challenge even the gods themselves" The blood of his own solely smothers the flames that burn within Year after year saw him trying to satisfy sword's endless hunger Wall of blades surrounds him, one for every fallen victim With each won sword he whispers "Is there no one worth the wait? Deaths countless showing proof to me But ten by ten by ten I want to see." Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords) Waiting for someone to lift the weight away The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords) to define if he's a master or a servant Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords) Waiting for someone to lift the weight away The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords) to show if he's to walk above gods or beneath man Tatakai Tatakai Saigo "Nightfall sets, stars revealed - a pale shadow on the treeline reveals nothing about it's master. A blade on his side, a smile in his eyes as he approaches the wall of steel. All grows silent, time stands still as it was foretold by the sakura's omen" Yuki, senmai, noken, yuki, senmai Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords) Waiting for someone to lift the weight away The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords) to define if he's a master or a servant Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords) waiting for someone to take the burden away The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords) to show if he's to walk above gods The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords) to show if this path sets him free

I've lost myself, can't find but wrath inside So bitter, to everyone and every single thing in life I'm all eyes - searching something to be hated even more I cry a river red, hope the'll all be pulled down they drown and I'll haunt their dreams imbued with vanity Honor, I'll show them. Respect, by slaying them all Carrying their the mark of cursed forevermore My touch , made of pai, made of thorns and nails to tear you down For I cannot change my fate I scream Let soul go on ahead For I cannot change it all Please just set me free Slave of his own, will bound to hate Madness creates bittersweet, fading, darkening harmony Demigod, false truth, scale balanced be within Breeding my wrath even more... and Oh, how I find myself again Together standing there, still all alone Oh, how I hate myself again Falling once more with the tide, it makes me blind and Still I see, how I fool myself again Whisper out the words to hold it down Oh, how I praise myself again Pierces through the skin but still I seem faceless For I cannot change my fate I scream Release the flames inside For I cannot change it all Please set them free For I can not just stay down No way I could set it aside For I crush you be set free Though I'll die, freedom never will Oh, how I find myself again Together standing there, still all alone Oh, how I hate myself again Falling once more with the tide, it makes me blind and still I see ...fool myself again Whisper out the words to hold it down Oooh, how I praise myself again Pierces through the skin but still it burns Now, forced to see reality Under this skin dwells a human heart Oh, still this pain remains the same Pierces through the skin but still I seem faceless

Once again, story torn must be told It shall erase the lies spoken of others (Those eyes don't see their owners) So much we've shed hate that there's no one left to blame All is one and one is all, shouldn't we all be the same? Honor and pride are still worth nothing It's a curse set upon us, it shall be broken So much we shed tears for our useless inner fear The time has come, to see and hear how once again the end is near Gaze to the path before, Not sealed anymore See everything from within, Confront your inner being Of honor I must speak, these words in which I believe Thou shalt shelter my words in thy heart Of honor I must speak words forgotten, still real Thou shalt search for my words in thy heart Just listen. (Solo: Pepe, Mika, Jouni, Mika) Gaze to the path before, Not sealed anymore See everything from within, Confront your inner being Of honor I must speak, these words in which I believe Thou shalt shelter my words in thy heart Of honor I must speak words forgotten, still real Thou shalt shelter for my words in thy heart

IKARI, MOERU IKARI KIRAWARETEIRU HATESHINAI TATAKAI Tired from the war is the warrior's heart The wind keeps still, it whispers words somewhere far This moment brings tears into his tormented eyes Memories of home, the reason why he joined the fight Winter has been winning this battle since it's first day Fear's already friend, it keeps me raising up my blade All this time I've fought for everything that has meaning I've had my share of grief, so many deaths I'm forced to see In my heart I've sheltered everything I need To walk through this blood rain, even if it's me who bleeds No wasted years behind - this war could never be over Being still alive makes me feel dead cold inside IKARI KANASHIMI IKARI (Solo: Pepe, Jouni, Mika) In my heart I've sheltered everything I need To walk through this blood rain, even if it's me who bleeds No wasted years behind - this war could never be over Being still alive makes me feel dead cold inside In my heart I've sheltered everything I need To walk through this blood rain, even if it's me who bleeds No wasted years behind - this war will last forever If alive I feel dead cold inside

Wretched is the empire inside out, wretched the people within Soulless searching, sky’s fading , hope’s gone into hiding No one wants to see what’s to come The rising chaos even now on every single one This is the final curtain call Final chance to rise, to stand to forge an iron heart No, for my will never changes In this life, I won’t die , I won’t dear to walk through night Face all and everything trying to weaken me I’m conscience bound, to stand my ground, shout it out Fear never within. No never within. Trees wither, green turns gray, darkness only left to hoard Bravery lost, weak mind guides hands too weak to even grab a shield or sword Once called men, these wrecks deserve no word to be wasted on Sad I feel , riding through the plains, even stars lose their shine one by one Right! I do want to see what’s to come I’m not afraid to see the chaos in every single one (Solo: Mika, Pepe, Jouni, Mika) No, for my will never changes In this life, I won’t die , I won’t fear to walk through night Face all and everything trying to weaken me I’m conscience bound, to stand my ground, shout it out Fear never within. No, no, no, no, no fear!

Welcome to my realm, twisted but real where no one can see Where cold gets stronger, grows everyday it flows through thee Eyes all around you not watching a thing, blindfolded by lies No word can be said, they hear but themselves My silence keeps them alive Not a word that you hear them say will ever be true Like a blade it pierces and makes you blinded too They follow their path having no sight Their steps guided by blind Don't want to hear it spoken out loud That their lifes are filled with lies Helpless I stand here, day after day, trying to stay sane I don't feel the hatred, neither the grief, but I live in their pain. Not a word that you hear them say will ever be true Like a blade it pierces and makes you blinded too They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone How can one lie in such way and kill all dignity? They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone How can one lie in such way, if they live for dying? (Solo: Mika, Jouni) They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone How can one lie in such way and kill all dignity? They say that nothing good will last, yet they're living like everyone How can one lie in such way and kill all honor? Oh, lie in such way - Wearing blindfold

"Eye for an eye" said the old man For mankind's sake has he cried Wisdom of what to become had been blessed into his mind Me myself I'm sick of trying to help this land evil to the core For now I'll be an observer I'll say a prayer, nothing more Wrath of Heaven sets, the world is cursed by all the answers written by man (it's all in vain) I despise the question of "why, what we have done to earn this All that's forgotten has returned as the Wrath Of Heaven (Solo: Mika) Yes the Wrath of Heaven sets, the world is cursed by all the answers written by man (it's all in vain) I'm gazed by them now, it is me they want to blame But they don't see in my heart's concealed something They'll never take away I don't fear anything anymore, I know, I'm just a sculpture made of glass I've reached my end and lived as I am until this day We stand on the edge of the world now, prepared to fly to eternity I know by the wisdom of all, there's no death for us by the Wrath of Heaven by tIt stands besides us til' the end

Part I: Sakura’s Omen (instrumental) Part II: A Master and a Servant Scars of countless number Carved with the knife of time Gone are fights for pain inside Flames smothered by defeat Once was he invincible Once walked above the gods Beat by unlikely champion Now he kneels before a man All was changed, a fateful night Battle for the thousandth blade Humble mind over haughty matter In a master a servant revealed ‘’Flakes cold, white slowly fall Grows silent the land again Leaves wither, speak the words unheard Yet true for a tormented soul seeking answer’’ ‘’Flakes cold, white slowly fall Grows silent the land again. Silent are the woods, silent are the waters, Silent is the bridge once surrounded by a wall of steel One arrived, two walked away, nothing stayed the same To feel the life in every breath, every soul he takes That is the way of a warrior.’’ Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow No more there’s a need to ask the questions Stars they guide me, they give my peace, as I leave my blade in the snow No more there’s a need to find an answer Stars so far away, alone they stay like now my blade in the snow Now I’ve found the path, now’s there a meaning for my war Free from all, he joined a war No longer one his own Once alone, now gives his swords To serve his master’s cause (Solo: Pepe, Jouni , Mika, Matias) Part III : Betrayal and standing death Traitor, a betrayal, a fallen among them Serpent, poisons me, it’s venom my own blood Despair, defeat draws near, no way to change the course Only one, after nightfall still stands on his feet. Part IV : River Sanzu/ Birth of a legend (instrumental) Part V : Blade in the Snow Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow No more there’s a need to ask the questions Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow No more there’s a need to ask the questions (please give me peace) Stars, they guide me, they give me peace, I leave my blade in the snow Stars please guide me ‘’Flakes cold, white slowly fall Grows silent the land again Earth, mountains, rivers – hidden in the nothingness In the nothingness – Earth mountains, rivers revealed It is our path defining our desires Our desires defining our goal Our goal defining our deeds Our deeds defining who we are Spring flowers, winter snows There’s no being or non-being , nor denial itself. I’ve been set free
