I thank thee for this sacred mission I thank thee for a radiant demise Ostracized, last night in solitude My fate is sealed, I’ve offered my life
All my brothers volunteered Those who can’t fly out are silently crying This death is the most glorious of all No tears, no regrets but tremendous pride
This is the gateway to eternity (as ready as can be) Just enough fuel for a one-way flight (tragic end in sight) No return is planned any time soon (my plane is my tomb) Whatever happens, you will never see me again
Glorious and ephemeral like our cherry blossom Last prayers, last poems and my sword close to me No words, no goodbyes, whole lives in a single glance Solemn ceremony honouring the departed Those who stay bow down, their eyes facing the ground We belong to the gods, we’ll shine through eternity May my ancestors be proud, may my name be remembered Wandering amidst the clouds, I await my destiny
A whole generation conceding life with a smile Beautiful children forming a human wall We are the last resort forcing the desperate wonder Mimicking the divine storm centuries ago Our enemies will conquer a broken and soulless land Target in sight, I shout and pray to triumph
