On a winter night
Guided by moonlight
To the forest shrine
Geisha painted white
Underneath the moon
The flash of her blade
She cuts off her hair
The moonlight now fades
Tsukuyomi
The shinobi path
Yin and Yang, two halves
Make-up just as mask
Geisha now wears black
Underneath the moon
The flash of her blade
She cuts off her hair
The moonlight now fades
Tsukuyomi
The blackness of night
The moon's perfect white
The Yin and the Yang
Both one and the same
Tsukuyomi

I wrap myself in black
This dress dark as night
A mourning shawl, though none have died
Though when I make my oath
The consequence foreseen
I've seen the sacred scrolls, I know what it will bring
A glimpse into Rome's past,
You'll see - we are a people raised by wolves.
This great dishonor, a crying shame unto Rome's daughter
The scared flame of Vesta's Virgins burns inside of me
A kingdom will fall and a people freed.
To my father's house I fly
With vengeance in my breast
A dagger, sleeve-concealed, destined for my chest
A glimpse into Rome's past,
You'll see - we are a people raised by wolves.
This great dishonor, a crying shame unto Rome's daughter
The scared flame of Vesta's Virgins burns inside of me
A kingdom will fall and a people freed.
My solemn word is pledged
My gilded knife held high,
"By Mars, avenge my death! My oath sealed as I die!"

The storm is raging, tumultuous seas
A blood-red sky, and the kraken set free
I beg you do not raise anchor this day
Your port will be Hades, a watery grave.
And the maelstrom churns
And the maidens they mourn
For the ones who set sail
And the sirens they wail
And the ships they descend
Neptune's Wrath has no end.
The days passing by and I wait by the shore
Why did you leave me? What was it all for?
They tell me that one day you might still return
But in my heart I know that you're gone
Into the wine-dark sea, I know there's no hope for thee
Into the wine-dark sea, I know there's no hope for thee
And the maelstrom churns
And the maidens they mourn
For the ones who set sail
And the sirens they wail
And the ships they descend
Neptune's Wrath has no end.
