THE SONG OF KUREI
by Fuuko no Miko

And through it all, I've always wondered
Thought, analyzed, simply pondered
When it was, the true time when
A smile will grace this face again

Four centuries of mine existence
Filled with nothing but resistance
Tears are all that I recall
Is happiness such a far-fetched goal?

From his birth, I do remember
The second born of a flame caster
Bad luck it bears for our race
But it is to I misfortune faced

Ousted, jolted, rejected I
Taunted, spite on, sentenced to die
Cursed flame said I had been borne
A veil of shame to be eternally worn

Perhaps his death is the solution
I had reached this severe conclusion
So I had set this in my young mind
To wipe him from the face of mankind

Through time and space I had waited
For peace in me to be abated
Face this man, the anointed one
And send him off to Kingdom Come

Alas the time I had to endure
Denied it was of any pleasure
As Misery again looked me in the eye
Flashed to me his twisted smile

Son of mine, he called me this
Rid me of my secret bliss
For love of her he can't allow
On her corpse I must then vow

Demons pervade me day and night
Oh when will end this unhappy plight
What will shut out all this pain?
When can joy be mine again?

Life to me is one cruel joke
A parody, a giant hoax
Bitter man that I became
An angry heart no one can tame

I cannot wait for the day to arrive
When revenge is mine, when I survive
The holocaust that was my life
When sadness becomes a former strife

'Til then I merely anticipate
To face the brother I'd come to hate
Come and fight me, Chosen One
That my curse would be undone

Set in mind I tell you this
My dust you'll eat, my feet you'll kiss
The truth will settle in your mind
The place you took, was rightfully mine

And I shall prove to the misled world
A fact, a truth will be unfurled
The Sacred Flame, the one and true
Belongs to me and not to you.

And when all is truly said and done
When you and my stepfather had gone
Maybe then I can start to look
For the happiness you both took

For only destiny truly knows
The crooked way that this life goes
Perhaps someday I will finally find
An existence that would be more kind

When it comes, that day, maybe then
I'll open up this heart again
And feel what I've been denied
All my hate be set aside

Come to me, elusive happiness
Tell me I'm not cursed, but blessed
The reins of my life do take control
So I may die a happy soul.
