Looking ahead.
Having no feelings,
Refusing my pain,
Looking ahead,
I stay in the rain.
Having no fear,
Demon – youkai*,
Looking ahead,
Cries with the sky.
It was strength that I wanted,
But my father said:
"You will never find it
Looking ahead.
Your sword may be sharp,
But you have to detect,
Looking around,
Whom you want to protect.
Without this knowledge
You will not understand,
That your strength is right here,
It is not ahead."
I know this, father,
I don't want to protect.
I wanna make humans
My strength to respect.
"You are foolish my son,
You are loosing your pride,
But dog's your identity
Once you will find."
I know but hate it,
This path is not myine.
You gave me Tenseiga**,
Understand I this sign.
You wanted me people
With this sword to save,
Like you being
Honest, gentle and brave.
Forgive me, my father,
I don't feel like this,
I wanna all humans
Fаll on their knees.
I was named Lord of West,
But it isn't enough.
To achieve this one goal
I'll put all my life.
The music of death
Is my lullaby.
Often say I "Farewell"
And never "Goodbye".
My soul is perfect,
Balanced and planned,
I wear ice mask,
Looking ahead.
But once it was broken,
When one summer day
Human's child body
Appeared on my way.
And using Tenseiga
With its power 'ver death,
I returned life to her.
Tell me – why, I request.
I don't knоw why,
But she doesn't fear me
And knowing, I'm demon
Doesn't want to go free.
But, father, you know,
I just have to say:
I am happy with this
From that very day.
And now together,
Until the ways end,
We stand side by side,
Looking ahead.
Youkai* - a strong animal-demon, looking like human
Tenseiga** - name of the sword that can return live.
