sadistswordCrimson Rain
Looks like there’ll be a storm tonight.
From today on, the sakura might scatter, too.
Hey, sakura on the verge of death,
soon enough I’ll scatter as well.
Enemies that stand in my way and unnecessary feelings,
with this katana, I’ll cut loose from any and all.
Life – it’s a fleeting thing.
It’s better to just laugh together with fate at it all.
Scatter, oh, sakura. In a single night’s rain.
Hey, corpses of flowers left in the dark,
anything and everything, scatter on the wind.
My existence as well, and my name, it’s fine to forget it.
Because everything is… definitely transient.
At the time of passing from this world,
I think I’d want to be at the end of a battle.
At the last moment, when there are no enemies left
because I defeated them, is when I want to go.
For the sake of my comrades, leaving ahead.
Better than anyone else, quelling the enemy.
That is the proof that I was alive.
Anyone is born alone and dies alone.
However, while I was alive, I had the Shinsengumi.
Fall, oh, rain. It’s fine not to stop.
Hesitation and doubt for me are long since gone.
While cutting a path through the enemy,
the place of my death – this blade will
definitely lead me to it.
I had a dream entirely worth staking my life.
For this reason, I’ll live recklessly.
Scatter, oh, sakura. Into the immaculate darkness.
Petals are always scattering without looking back.
There’s no such thing as regret for them, either.
For the sake of the things that must be protected
I went and became an oni, and so…
Boundless Darkness
It’s the hour of dusk.
Through the cracks of the shouji,
the fading light holds out its hand
like the edge of a blade.
As if it were inviting me:
“Let’s disappear together.”
Yes…
That might be good as well.
This — it is something other than sadness.
It differs from regret as well.
A feeling that cannot be put into words [*]
since everything will turn into nothing.
Boundless darkness,
this scenery that seems painted in ink…
As quickly as possible, won’t you please blot it with blackness?
In order to also bury this disdain-worthy anguish of mine
that can’t even be given a name.
Dimming light, just hurry and go.
These disgraceful feelings…
Please, don’t shine on them.
…in the darkness that comes with closing my eyes, I
lie down just like these dead leaves.
Perishing light,
you are still
sure to be reborn tomorrow.
At that time,
whether I’ll be able to look at you or not…
I don’t know.
I just pray, light,
inside the splash of blood,
please don’t come shining on me who has become an empty shell.
This body that’s nearing its demise…
Actually, this changed, detestable self
is most suited to darkness.
Darkness in which not a single shred of light can be seen.
…in this so-called darkness of closing my eyes,
inside an infinite swirl, I will keep on falling.
If perhaps, once more,
it so happens that I am born in a different era…
At that time, what will I be seeing?
The indistinctly warped, deep blackness from here…
At that time, will it have also been reborn?
I will be born only after confronting myself.
On the day of putting an end to this anguish,
will I be shot by an arrow from the bow of a secret destiny?
…the darkness that comes with closing my eyes, the boundless darkness.
There, falling as flowers do, [**]
the same way as a baby deeply asleep in the womb,
alone, I seek to lie down.
Dream ~A True Love Tale~
Tired from dancing, a sleeping sky
Eventually decaying
The falling petals of the sakura tree
As I trace their paths
Even the fate of humans seems like a fleeting dream
Thinking about you, my beloved
Who resides behind my eyelids
I want to protect you
I want to protect you
Even if my body decays completely
Because I’m sure
I was born
To meet you
The sound of my heart beating against my chest
I sensed the sorrow that overlapped with the contour
That my fingers touched
The pain directs me to the answer
Together with you, “I want to live”
Amidst the darkness that is drawing near
Even if tomorrow is locked up
Transcending time
Toward the end of time
The goodbye that this instant invites
After it awakes from its deep sleep
In the morning dew
The dream slowly melts away
One by one…
Each time I try to hold them
One by one…
They slip away
If I have to constantly make choices in my life
I will give this life
To you
I want to protect you
I want to protect you
When this body decays completely
What kind of view will I be gazing at
What will I be worrying about
As I continue walking
I want to protect you
But I can’t protect you
To the promise that this instant invites
No matter how many times I am reborn, I’ll go
To the place filled with sunlight that seeps through the trees
To where you are
Even if
We are far apart
I will always be
Loving you
