Kyuzo's Hidden Gratitude

I've made mistakes in my life

Yes, I admit it.

I refuse to break again,

Like I did when I was young,

The horizon holds nothing for me

Any longer.

I learned this the hard way…

.

Because of you

My blades sing once more.

Because of you

That sense of honor within me reawakened

Because of you

I actually learned to trust a little bit, something I could not do long ago

Because of you

I am not afraid.

,

Nearly losing my wits

In the insanity of Ukyo's foolish antics

I wonder how I managed to survive.

I refuse to show weakness

So I hide behind a screen of silence.

I guard my heart with ice,

Praying no one shall discover the true me.

Now I feel I have become two people…

Because of you

My blades sing once more.

Because of you

That sense of honor within me reawakened

Because of you

I actually learned to trust a little bit, something I could not do long ago

Because of you

I am not afraid.

vv

I've watched death and caused it.

I've heard those in pain,

How they wept.

I should have known back then

To shelter myself, close off the world of emotions.

The realization of hurt;

Now I cry when no one sees

Damn the life I've led…

' vv '

Because of you

My blades sing once more.

Because of you

That sense of honor within me reawakened

Because of you

The life I once lost, I regained

Because of you

I have risen from the abyss

Because of you

My life is no longer empty

Because of you

I am no longer afraid.

'vv'

Because of you.
