Behold, what is scribed in immortal stone
Lend thyself to a history of betrayal
For this Lunarian legend may bequeath
Instigation of evolution
Neural agility to evade
Crionic blades pointed at your following
Whilst thy vision will no longer deceive
This requiem shall
Embed itself into
Witholding shadows
An inferno scars
Innocent forest
Permanently
Harken as I recount my
Account from past millenia
Originating of the
Lunacy owned regality
Passing down higher plane knowledge
Without proper progression
May precurse and doom to self-destruction, so use caution (foresight)
But rest assured, our intentions are altruistic
Harken as I recount my
Account from past millenia
Originating of the
Lunacy owned regality
To repudiate the temporal horizon
With one imbibement of enchanted contraband
Designated after mountain top arrival
Insurrection, overthrown lunar princess,
I've become, all rooted by Hourai Elixir
Yet, my exile trailed me to asylum
An epic of spurned primeval instinct
Necrosis, solitude and pain befell her suitors
Pentamerous lessons edified
Insurmountable quests for each
Harken as I recount my
Account from past millenia
Originating of the
Lunacy owned regality
To repudiate the temporal horizon
With one imbibement of enchanted contraband
Designated after mountain top arrival
Insurrection, overthrown lunar princess,
I've become, all rooted by Hourai Elixir
Yet, my exile trailed me to asylum

I'm bereft of interest
When it comes to riches
Monetarily or
Acreage and servility
Apathetic to your
Sightly soul and body
But if you'd indulge me
I bestow a proposition
Admiration of your bravery is imparted
Yet, before you is a task of fools
O, suitor compelled by lust and naivete
The path you'll take is comprised of ghouls
Immortal before you beseeches for the
Inanimate archaic artifact
Once owned by the buddha, this bowl made of stone
Shall be the arbiter of didact
All I yearn for on earth is the
Tool utilized to
Bear the lifestream of Siddhartha
And such a miserable pile of
Secrets with the skill
To retrieve this recherche parcel shall gain
My hand and womb in marriage
Forevermore
Your ignorance to the circumstances
Shall fail you
For my blood shall never
Coagulate within my veins
The task fallen upon me
So queer, yet inconsequential
My hubris as a man
Culminates down all to this
Off he went, along his journey
To fulfill this quest born of longing
His eyes are weary, so full of lechery
Doomed to penetrate the earth until rigor cessates him (x2)
A worthy trade to be passed down through the ages
Mythic sojourn in return for the divine
None can compare on both her beauty and my loyalty
Such destiny!
Years have passed since his pride painfully, slowly struck him down
Abandoned by the Gods of which punish him for perversion
Sightless and starless as your purpose wastes away too
Yet, still I, ageless and deathless still orate my tale

Unhallowed
Disremembered
Carrion
Dismembered
Aftermath
Of lessons taught
You sing unto me generic
Praises about my appearance
Unknowing of what little worth your
Energy is to the universe (x2)
Deliver
A testament
To my falsehoods
Heed my challenge
If you wish to prove
Your place amongst the stars
For the unworthy
Shall face humiliation
And perennial dishonor
Silent Acceptance
With Strength
Silent Acceptance
With Strength
Silent Acceptance
With Strength
Silent Acceptance
With Strength
Time immemorial, time elapsed since the contract was forged
Tales told around the village of the simpleton who fell to his doom
Climbing on top of the crags and cliffs eventually collected his soul
Now, perhaps primal instinct will not cloud their darwinistic progress

Robe of the Fire Rat

How dare you, heir of Fujiwara, offend me with your indecent perversion?
Pitiful disgrace of a man, the title of nobility is sullied
To compare me to naught more than a temporary meal is insulting
Corruption leads to cynicism, then to hatred and endless wrath
If you want my forgiveness without prostrating before me
You must seek out a nest of rodents famed for resisting fire and flame
Do you wish to avoid suffering dishonor upon your name?
Or shall cowardly suicidal disembowelment spare your deserved shame? (x2)
Once this hovel is slain by you, then you must embroider me a robe from the fur
I must rescind this brutality of humankind made flesh to even gaze upon you
Well, Fuhito, do you pledge your life to my impossible request?
Yet, we both know of the conundrum called by the illusion of choice
The sentence is none other than death
Now lies your election of body
The sentence is none other than failure
Now lies your election of honor
If slander is the cost for my autonomy
I willfully discard my long standing name
For the gods are in agreeance that servitude
Death and treason are all the same pariah
Then may the Fujiwara name be henceforth banished to vagueness
Until your honor is reclaimed by the hands of your impotent earth gods
Execution
Revolution
May the Yama strike you down
Such wickedness does not belong upon the earth (x2)
God of this darkness
God who is cold
God who hath made me so empty and old (Frozen Soul)
Girl who'll outlive me
Girl that has spurned me
My vengeance shall be as ageless as you (Reprisal)
Spiteful is the flesh
Spiteful is my being
Spiteful is divine retribution (Vindicate)
Birth of the phoenix
Birth of an heir
The inferno of contempt is given (Corporeal form)
With this defiance, you scatter the ashes of destiny
Eastern gales give such darkness wingless flight
God of this darkness
God who is cold
God who hath made me so empty and old (Frozen Soul)
Girl who'll outlive me
Girl that has spurned me
My vengeance shall be as ageless as you (Reprisal)
Spiteful is the flesh
Spiteful is my being
Spiteful is divine retribution (Vindicate)
Birth of the phoenix
Birth of an heir
The inferno of contempt is given (Corporeal form)

I beseech my dearest, fairest lady
To take my hand and make it your own
For I am beside myself caused by your elegant
Pulchritudinous and unbridled allure
Yet, my spirit and flesh are unwilling
As evidenced by the myths spread across
All throughout the village at mountain's base
I ask you to persist this charade no longer
Unless thou dost longs for an invincible challenge
Then myself becomes amenable to oblidge thee
Should you overcome my challenge, then and only then
Inclination to destroy my Lunar pride shall overbear
How precocious for one so beautious
Perchance I'll purposefully play into your hands
Take up arms, armor and sword
Against scaled monolith, prepare for war
At resolution, purloin the spoils
Surrender unto me the dragon's ornament
Your attempt at subterfuge is unsuccessful
For my spectation reveals many truths of you
Now the fates have smiled upon me with fertility
Thus, you face your own unscalable mountain
Such lowly living refuse shall not blackmail me
The enma shall cast you aside for this treachery
I must dispose of you immediately to leave me be
At once, you'll be lost from recent memory
Surely, you jest as you bear no ordinance
Nor is your stature built for conquering men
Such lowly living refuse cannot blackmail me
The enma shall cast you to rot for this treachery
You wound me with words, but my form is untouched
In any case, I shall ravage your flesh for my claim
The moon shall guide my arcane
Magic to swift victory
Against this animated pile of shit
Aided by unfaltering wit (x2)

I, as the solitary songless songster, meet myself with tragedy and scorn
For I know nothing but the scourge of unrequited affection and lucid dreams
Oh, unattainable Kaguya, permit me to heal your unseen wounds
Will you bear my modest ring as I, all of your mental afflictions
To stain my eyes with a pathetic creature
Would do nothing more than deflower my sight
Never will this dethroned paragon of lunacy
Depend on lower life for the sake of happiness
Glaring more into your words of desperation
It seems the ties that keep you upon the earth
Are calling to the Sanzu's body with brittleness
Have the gods truly neglected you so?
Free me from the unending torment and anguish none others share
Whether it be with animating my visions or my soul's abscission
How piteous can this child be?
To ask for solace from agony
Not to the Buddha does he beseech
Yet to I, within the same tree
I offer you a chance to grant your whim
Through either death or my satisfaction
Should you obtain the swallow's cowry treasure
My hand is unreluctantly yours for eternity
What I communicate with you today
Is of course, not a mindless chore
Nothing more than peril awaits come failure
No matter the outcome, you'll never suffer anymore
A makeshift masterpiece of an entrail mound was revealed
The bard's emptiness in his heart laid before me personified
Yet, not a shred of sympathy was spared for the suitor
A crimson painted letter managed to mockingly utter out:
"Long live the exiled princess"

Repetition of five quests harrowing exile
Folly of mankind wrought vengeance amongst lunar royalty
Violence!
Enraged the village with five casualties
Given the title of moonlit demon queen
Fleeing perennial war and genocide
Once more, I reflect through disgraced footsteps
The lies that witheld me for an eon shan't live to be
For where I find shelter once more must last for eternity
My strength through my tongue now has found a way to endow
What causes their lachrymosa, the words thus be unbound
Death plagues hominids
Mirroring heart of dusk
I, too am unspared from the wrath of the gods
For earth is nothing more than a second hell
Bequeathed upon me is my own unbreakable edict
To evade such self torture at the sands of Shigan
Unable to waste away, unable to rot for the worms
Immortality is its own solitude
Deathless as I are my curses towards Hourai
Beginning as a blessing, never ending as a curse
For every object requested that was relentlessly sought
Extremities to account for which I had already got
Falsehood upon falsehood to fool the waste of human mortality
Your hatred now stems from these epics of insanity
For every object requested that was easily procured
Your abhorrance now stems from these epics endured
Far beyond the wake of day
My flesh remains unsevered
Witness one strength dwindle
As the other flourishes
Death plagues hominids
Mirroring heart of dusk (x4)
Far beyond the wake of day
My flesh remains unsevered
Witness one strength dwindle
As the other flourishes
These bones and constants shatter
Long held truths as my fate
Usurps the atrophic gaze
Of the anguished bard
Here comes remorse raining upon me,
Yet it'll never
Wash this blood from my
Soul so archaic and black
Woeful is this virulent irony...
Fill my ears with songs of farewell
Sing them with rage upon my last journey home
Perhaps Gensokyo's alchemy is able to
Finally cessate my everlasting time
The lies that witheld me for an eon shan't live to be
For where I find shelter once more must last for eternity
My strength through my tongue now has found a way to endow
What causes their lachrymosa, the words thus be unbound (x2)
