Watching alone, upon endless war
A landscape painted in blood
For all those who dare to trade hands with fate
You must turn back before it’s too late
Countless lives lost upon the summit
To risk it all, for glory
A lust for battle seduced your will
And has led you to me
["Oohh..
I've ascended
from the heavens
Again..
To bestow you
your fate..
A message..
A warning..
of your untimely doom..
now awaits at the peak.." ]
----------------------------------------
Forget your dreams
Return to home
Steel your heart
For there’s no breath in bones
Awaken from slumber
And face not this fate
As there’s much more to life
Than death by her blade
Shackle your hopes
Don’t heed the call
Climb to the top
And be destined to fall
To guard is my duty
And crush those who fight
Lightning flows through me
Face the end of your life
Unworthy
To pass me
By my hands
You
shall
Die
-------------------------------------------
All a dream and nothing more
A faint taste of defeat
A message of untold tragedy
Had led you to me
["Oohh..
I've ascended
from the heavens
Again..
To bestow you
your fate..
A message..
A warning..
of your certain doom..
Now awaits at the peak.."]

Forget your dreams
Return to home
Steel your heart
For there’s no breath in bones
Awaken from slumber
And face not this fate
As there’s much more to life
Than death by her blade
Shackle your hopes
Don’t heed the call
Climb to the top
And be destined to fall
To guard is my duty
And test those who fight
Lightning flows through me
By my hands you’ll die
Beyond the mountains and above the sky
There rests a place where the strong come to die
A battle so fierce that it honors the gods
Finish your prayers and heed these last words
So we fight
For all our dreams
For destiny
For all of our souls to be set free
Set Free

There's nothing left of the hope I held close
I never thought I could feel so alone
Fate won’t let us be so cut me free
And bury yourself next to me
So I've buried the reaper and stolen his crown
I'm slaying the prophet and bringing god down (don't tell me this is the end)
To give us a second to take back what's mine
To say that 'I love you' the very last time
The end of the story is this how it goes
It's not what you wanted I'm sorry I know
Just tell me it's alright it's all in my head
If I’m not beside you I'm better off dead
An empty heart where you used to belong
Where do we go when ‘forever’ is gone
I'm sick of chasing shadows so come bring me home
Can you take me with you to where hope goes to die
So follow me under don't leave me behind
Erase my existence kill my memory
I look in the mirror death looks back at me
And as the last light fades away
When fate betrays us life decays
If no one else remembers me
It doesn't matter if you're next to me
So death is a coward and god is a liar I’ll end it instead
If that’s what it takes for me to be with her bury my heart where she rests
We'll rewrite the story we'll meet once again
Even if I’m waiting ‘till after the end
The world I once loved is falling apart
I've drawn my last breath I've found you at last

Alone, I've always been alone.
No place to call my home.
My existence remains unknown.
Abandoned, by those I've loved.
Distant dreams reduced to dust.
Predestined to be forgot
Deserted, and left to rot.
These horrid scenes within my mind,
force me back.
To that fateful night I can't forget,
stained in red.
There's no escape.
There's no repression
From these crimson memories.
Mother!
Defiled like a whore.
Raped till she bled, but the sadist wanted more.
Father!
Slaughtered like a pig.
Both were left for dead, so what's left in life for me?
Why has this life,
been nothing but constant regret?
Can't retain the thoughts I've lost,
but this pain I've always had.
While other happy souls.
Are content to gawk and stare
Nobody tries to help,
because nobody even...
What is this life I'm waiting for?
What is this hope I can't ignore?
Cause all I see is a gruesome fate.
Tempting me to the brink of the blade.
Where is this god you all adore?
Where is this light I'm looking for?
Cause all I see are blackened skies.
Visions beckoning me to come home.

Oh, Across..
this land..
breathes the lives of many and yet.. the..
years pass by as
I'm stuck in paradise,
Contemplating my purpose in life..
Forged in the fires of heaven's brightest flames
rests a blade yet untouched and sacred.
Broken is the cycle of heaven's endless days.
As I begin my descent from the skies..
Torn between the tides of fate
I cast away this Eden..
And bind thy will with the Earth below
to fill the void in my heart....
Born with this passion
She travels ‘cross the land
To seek the challenge
To face her own end
Farewell to those heavens
Goodbye to that view
Heard enough of old legends
Time to see if they’re true
Lone child of the ether
Still yearning for meaning
A counterpart below her
Something to keep believing
All saw, and followed
As nature bent to her will
And fell, one by one
To the might of this sky child.
Strike.. the Earth
And split ..the Sky
Crush.. The pain
Away..
All.. alone
And In.. her mind..
Desolate..
Are her Dreams..
Strike.. the Earth
And split ..the Sky
Crush.. Them all
Away..
None.. came close
To her.. Full might
Still.. She felt
Nothing
----------------------------
Instrumental Break
----------------------------
Cursed with this passion
She travels ‘cross the land
To seek a challenge
To face true strength
Farewell to those heavens
Goodbye, the world I knew
Seen enough of old legends
Time to see new tales through
I’ve felt true struggle
I’ve shed my tears
Yet I’ve found what I’ve sought for
After all these years
Red and White
Appeared in front of her eyes
To end her struggle
And give meaning to life
Face your fears
Steel your heart
Brace yourself
For a fight unlike any other
So she felt pain
and she shed blood
Her body broken
Yet still she moves on
Despite her tears
She felt no sorrow
For today is the first day she lived
----------------------------------
Solo
--------------------------
Torn between the tides of fate
She casts away this Eden..
And binds thy will with the Earth below
to fill the void in her heart....
On the edge of paradise
It’s now she draws her sword
And strives once more to face her foe
With newfound purpose in life
Torn between the tides of fate
She casts away this Eden..
And binds thy will with the Earth below
to fill the void in her heart....
On the edge of paradise
Once more she draws her sword
A final clash across the sky
Never seen before

Yumi Sakata is one of the most exciting projects within the modern Touhou Metal scene! Their clear urge to push boundaries, and push Touhou composition in places it's never been before is amazing.

by The Last Battalion
The Last Battalion is by far a completely underrated, yet over-qualified arranger within the scene. Their fusion of modern 8-string djent, mixed in with fantastic production does wonders for your ears

I had heard you guys' songs mixed into a few Touhou metal mixes, but Deceiver was the one that really caught my ear. I listened to it steadily on and off for about 3 days. Keep doing your thing, rock on!
