lyrics

The whispers
From the wood
Where lovers
Once stood

Resounding outward
A haunting tune
luring travelers
to their doom

The solemn plucking
Of a shamisen
Waited with sorrow
Beyond the end

So wretched
These tones
She weeps
Alone

She waits eternal
For her lord
Who met his end
By the sword

The solemn plucking
Of a shamisen
Waited with sorrow
Beyond the end

The forest enshrouded with unnatural mist
Darkness profound
Bereavement manifested into spiritual rage
And a lonely sound

This apparition sates her sorrow
With the blood of men
A mononoke trapped in torment
Plays her shamisen

We are the Immortal Orchestra. ... more
