Demon to others, angel to no one

those seen him for real haven't lived to tell

Lives by the sword, bathes in blood, seeks for trouble

It's said "face him, hear your funeral bell"

Born after 18 moons, 

stained with dishonor

Evil from birth, cast away by his parents, 

Oniwaka - The Devil's Child

"Enemies shiver and flee,

though he faces armies alone"

Death through this deformed figure

"Ruins he leaves behind him, chaos he sees

to come"

Seeking one to set him free

"One by one even those calling

him a companion disappear"

Going on until defeat

"Alone, he stands, daring to challenge even

the gods themselves"

The blood of his own

solely smothers the flames that burn within

Year after year saw him trying

to satisfy sword's endless hunger

Wall of blades surrounds him, 

one for every fallen victim

With each won sword he whispers

"Is there no one worth the wait?

Deaths countless showing proof to me

But ten by ten by ten I want to see."

Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords)

Waiting for someone to lift the weight away

The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords)

to define if he's a master or a servant

Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords)

Waiting for someone to lift the weight away

The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords)

to show if he's to walk above gods or beneath man

"Nightfall sets, stars revealed -

a pale shadow on the treeline

reveals nothing about it's master.

A blade on his side, a smile in his eyes

as he approaches the wall of steel.

All grows silent, time stands still

as it was foretold by the sakura's omen"

Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords)

Waiting for someone to lift the weight away

The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords)

to define if he's a master or a servant

Years he stood still (a tale of 1000 swords)

waiting for someone to take the burden away

The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords)

to show if he's to walk above gods

The last blade sacred (a tale of 1000 swords)

to show if this path sets him free
