Lyric

A woman walks the night, her hips like a slow tide Beyond the neon glow

Where silent wishes hide Moonlight settles softly on winter-pale skin

Waiting for the kind of warmth that grows within

Yatagarasu circles high, a three-legged flame

Whispering low, "You were never meant for shame"

One quiet brushstroke reaches out across the dark

Turning frozen midnight into embers and sparks

Dream or reality Nobody truly knows Still we keep searching For a love that glows

Close the dictionary

It's only paper then

But once the ink is written

It becomes a prayer within

Yoshi Rise up one more time Even with a broken bow And the last arrow gone

Yoshi

Walk beyond the light

With fearless hearts beating

Through the edge of night

In the world of desire We wound and we bleed Still a hand reaches out In the dark, toward heat

Gods and Buddhas, Yahweh too

The sun and the endless universe

Different names above our heads

Yet the same dark frightens us all

A little paradise

Like warm floors in winter

A goldfish slowly turning

Waiting when I return

The hum of electricity

Quietly every day

Warms these frozen fingers

And keeps the dark away

Rain that will not let you leave A gentle voice pulling at my sleeve

"It's alright" Just those simple words Can turn flowers in darkness Back toward tomorrow

Even if it feels

Like water on burning stone

A faithful heart still burns

Long after hope is gone

Yoshi Walk forward once again Toward a beautiful ending Let your heartbeat sing

Yoshi

Beyond the melting snow

Yatagarasu is calling

Bringing spring below

Careful not to spill The bowl of oil and flame

Holding this fleeting world

As gently as we can

Yoshi
