Lyric

Deeper than darkness, roots descend

Drawing life from every end

Ah… O sacred tree divine

Whose prayer do you entwine?

The wind is weeping, branches cry

A voice calls softly, “You and I.”

Touch not the bark — it breathes, it bleeds

The god within still dreams unseen

Even when the moon is torn

The blood within the roots is born

Ah… O sacred tree divine

Do you feast on human minds?

The rain is weeping, soil moans deep

A voice consumes me as I sleep

Through broken prayers, the roots arise

The god now opens all its eyes

In forests where no light remains

No lips recall my name in vain

The Tree of Kamui breathes in me —

No longer human, I shall be
