Mayday! - Hidden Leaves lyrics

Lie down, be still Oh wandering samurai Your enemies are asleep tonight Out of place and out of time Under this modern western sky Drinking twilight like it's wine Your material self has died But from ancient books you've known What the films have never shown You can't survive on vengeance alone Without a name, without a home Outside any doctrine, beyond any system Removed from any context but your own Lie down, be still Oh lonesome samurai Your enemies are only illusions Tonight It's strange from your countryside, your clan and your lord But someday you'll know both ends of the sword You dream of that moment Developed in the absolute Acting upon impulse Stepping towards oblivion Bowing under shadows Begging to know both ends of the sword Lie down, be till, oh cherry blossom soul The shadows might swallow you whole
