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
