lyrics
Izayoi
See the stillness move between our eyes
星と人の狭間 - hoshi to hito no hazama (between planet and human)
Hear the silence ring between our lips
全と零の狭間 - zen to zero no hazama (between all and zero)
Knowingly unknowing, lustful sighs your pilgrim
Heart timelessly stirring, a tantric dream
重ねゆく - kasane yuku (coming together)
The whitest light to blind the mind
皓月の元に - kougetsu no moto ni (under the bright moon)
The shadows blend on the fifteenth night
交わる影 - majiwaru kage (crossing shadows)
Divided by our poems
The sun and the moon
Together in the middle of the road
The wolves of Tsukuyomi croon
for Izayoi
Feel the stillness move below the land
星と人の狭間 - hoshi to hito no hazama
Feel the silence ring above the skies
全と零の狭間 - zen to zero no hazama
Knowingly unknowing, drowsy eyes my sleepless
Mind gently closing, a karmic dream
離れゆく- hanare yuku (pulling apart)
The whitest light to blind the mind
孤月の元に - kogetsu no moto ni (under the lonely moon)
The shadows fall on the sixteenth night
広がる影 - hirogaru kage (spreading shadows)
Divided by our poems
The sun and the moon
Shadows in the middle of the road
The wolves of Tsukuyomi croon
to Izayoi
Knowingly unknowing, lust for love
Knowingly unknowing, lust for love in my sleepless mind
See the stillness move inside her eyes
星と人の狭間 - hoshi to hito no hazama
Hear the silence ring between her lips
愛と 'I' の狭間 - ai to ai no hazama (between love and self)
