Summary: On her deathbed, Izayoi thinks of her beloved husband.
Izayoi's Last Wish
Soon
I'll come home to you in the cold grey
Where
long you have waited and so I ask
Will
you linger for me just one more day?
It
will not be long now, or so they say;
My
beating heart endures its cruel, hard task.
Soon
I'll come home to you in the cold grey.
The
fever's spread and all will fade away,
And
though in the silent cold you must bask,
Will
you linger for me just one more day?
I
want not to go but I disobey
Like
the winter chill that pushes fall past;
Soon
I'll come home to you in the cold grey.
My
heart shudders now and so I must pray,
If
only I could meet you there unmasked,
Will
you linger for me just one more day?
When
night falls and I end my lifelong stay,
Inuyasha
will have still the hardest task.
Soon
I'll come home to you in the cold grey;
Will
you linger for me just one more day?
…
Your
spirit lives in our son;
You
can help him to find his way.
Guide
him to be strong, dearest one.
Your
long journey is not yet done;
Though
in your resting place you lay,
Your
spirit lives in our son.
Cruel
children already make fun
Of
him. I fear he'll fall astray.
Guide
him to be strong, dearest one.
Against
Ryukotsusei you'd won
And
though I lost you on that day,
Your
spirit lives in our son.
The
worst has still not yet begun
For
Inuyasha, so I pray,
Guide
him to be strong, dearest one.
Your
deeds shall never be outdone.
Let
your legacy never sway.
Your
spirit lives in our son;
Guide
him to be strong, dearest one.
