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

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 head 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 foes diving blade

If one only studies the strategy 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 blood-red 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
