Third of May / Ōdaigahara

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
