Third of May / Ōdaigahara

歌詞

Light ended the night, but the song remained And I was hiding by the stair, half here, half there, past the lashing rain And as the sky[e] would petal white Old innocent lies came to mind As we stood, congregated, at the firing line Night ended the fight, but the song remained And so I headed to the wall, turned tail to call to the new domain As if in the sight of sea, you're suddenly free, but it's all the same... Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center Aren't we made to be crowded together, like leaves? Was I too slow? Did you change overnight? Second son, on the other line... Now, back in our town as a castaway I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of May As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center Aren't we made to be crowded together, like leaves? Was I too slow? Did I change overnight? Second son, for the second time... Can I be light and free? If I lead you through the fury will you call to me? And is all that I might owe you carved on ivory? But all will fade. All I say. All I needed As a flash in the eye, I wouldn't deny, all receded Life unfolds in pools of gold I am only owed this shape if I make a line to hold To be held within one's self is deathlike, oh I know But all will be, for mine and me, as we make it And the size of the fray, can't take it away, they won't make it I was a fool Crime after crime to confess to But I hold the fleet angel, she'll bless you Hold fast to the wing. Hold fast to the wing
