The Dog Masked Man Ansatsu Senjutsu Takeshu Butai

In darkness, in death, In shadow of night a yuurei flits swiftly beyond human sight

A spectere, a shadow an omen of death The silver haired killer the dog masked man

The flash of the lightning the searching of steel the chirping of one thousand birds for to die

He fights for his Village He fights for his word Yet he lives for nothing He travels to die

The Shadow- the Kami Professor of Them He knows of his Yuurei His dog masked man

He sends him to live But he travels to die His mission is last But his Comrades are first

He lives on his owwn time A-Wasting his life He stands at the gravestone The dog masked man

His friends and his family They left him alone He hides behind mask And his orange bound word

But he reads not the writing He sees no image His mind is on failings That cost him his friends

He hides his deep feelings Behind guise of care This broken up scarecrow This dog masked man

His left eye holds sorrow His right eye is death He is the assasin The killer of men

His friend is his rival The Beautiful Beast The broken, the insane Two brothers in arms

But now like his lightning His life opens up He leaves his position As dog masked man

Three children are given One touches his heart The son of his sensei Who left him alone

Like summer sun rising The determined youth Has made the man smile Has opened his life

He smiles, he laughs His life starts to heal And yet the man can't loose His dog masked man

The killer that haunts him The him of his past He fills up his nightmares He conquers his dreams

He has lost his path Then he found it again Yet when the old shadow dies He forges on

He is now a knight Tho' silver haired ghost His lightning a gift From the dog masked man

Protecting his people Defending his home From the Dawn of Peace From the Shadow of Rain

From Path of the Heaven From Path of the Hells His people he fights for Defending them all

And tho he is master Of mirror-wheeled eye He gives his life for them The dog masked man
