Third of May / Ōdaigahara

Light, ended the night, but the song remained

And I was hiding by the stair

Half here, half there

Passed the lashing rain

And as the sky would pedal white

Old innocent lies came to mind

As we stood congregating

At the firing line

Night, ended the fire, but the song remained

So I headed to the wall

Turn 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

Ooh

Is that too slow?

Did you change over night?

Second sun on the other light

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

Ooh

Was I too slow?

Did I change over night?

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 owned this shape if I make a line to hold

To be held within oneself is deathlike, oh, I know

But all will be mine and me

As we make it

And decide to break and take it away

They won't make it

I was a fool

Crime after crime

To confess to

But I hope the fleet angel

She'll bless you

Hold fast to the wind

Hold fast to the wind
