Muramasa

The mountain stands alone upon a blade of fire before the sun
Drawn towards a point of light, all of my cold rage entwined
You will come to know me

With every sin you crawl, with each passing breath
Taste the crimson drops upon this blade
You will come to know me

The line between the friend and foe cannot be seen until you fall
The blind can see the bison knows
You bend the truth to suit your stall
You will come to know me

Lord cast your eyes on me, you know this to be false
I’ll slice the ocean whole, give me everything
You will come to know
You will come to know
You will come to know me

When the body fails, God will gather me
When the mind dissolves, God will inspire me
When the rivers dry, God will forgive me
When the heavens glow, God will provide me

Bring me the Earth, the rivers and the moon
Heaven and hell, I’ll strike them all in two
Eternal, when the sky comes down
Eternal, come back stronger
Deliver me from ego, lust and power and sight
The curtain lies open and only God remains

When the body fails, God will gather me
When the mind dissolves, God will inspire me
When the rivers dry, God will forgive me
When the heavens glow, God will provide me

The water burns, the tide awake
The crashing of the waves again
Diamond fire upon the edge, the mountain grows again and again

A songbird crashes from the sky
An endless sleep behind your mind
My master shades his eyes
A love so true, to meet my own
I placed in you my soul
Before I’m through the mountain calls
My plea to you, my all
The songbird dies in my arms
What have I done?

I’ve seen the edge so raise your hands
I’ve seen the edge so raise your hands
Power flow from me to you
Power flow from me to you

And I will lead you all to the brink of time

A love so true for you
Lord cast your eyes on me, you know this to be false
I’ll slice the ocean whole, give me everything
