Lyric

The bells are ringing, the wind dies away

A shadow hides where the Torii gates stay

The blue moon folds like a silken fan

Staining the edge of the dark as it can

On the dark shrine steps, the light is all gone

Stone Komainu wait for a forgotten dawn

Faded prayers are piercing my ears

White petals fall like a rain of cold tears

I turn around but there’s no one in sight

Yet a cold hand brushes my neck in the night

A laughing presence, a chill on my skin

But my true name hasn’t been called from within

Should I cut the ties or reach for a hand?

Inside the red sheath, I take my last stand

Something is waking, a spirit of old

Turning the silver into a burning gold

Crimson Moon Fox, tear the night apart!

Dancing in the blue light, a fire in my heart

Destiny is nothing but a chain to be broken

With one single stroke, the truth is now spoken

I’ll embrace the silence, I’ll embrace the pride

Burning in this shrine with nowhere to hide

Kougetsu Ko... my soul is on fire!

Even the echoes are holding their breath

Only the Kitsunebi follows like death

White sleeves are scooping the shadows of grey

Bloodless flowers bloom and then wither away

Who was I born for? I ask of the stone

The creaking stairs leave me standing alone

Footbeats echo from a world far behind

A forgotten dance is what I must find

Looking down at the rotting Ema on the wall

Promises washed by the rain as they fall

No one can hear the voices that scream

So let the instinct wake from the dream!

Don't say "Save me," I’m done with that plea

The only savior is living in me

A crimson flame, hotter than the noon sun

The battle of the spirit has only begun!

Crimson Moon Fox, tear the night apart!

Dancing in the blue light, a fire in my heart

Destiny is nothing but a chain to be broken

With one single stroke, the truth is now spoken

I’ll embrace the silence, I’ll embrace the pride

In this sacred shrine, I’m the light and the guide

Kougetsu Ko... forever I’ll rise!

Pale petals falling, rushing to the floor

The blue moon watches through the open door

The crimson blade is sleeping once more

Kougetsu Ko
