(...Namu Amida Butsu...)
Becoming an ocean,
Are the rivers saddened
By the loss of their shores?
Chrysanthemums in the snow,
Oh, how lucid is this night before the battle.
Ahead and up!
In the divine winds!
The seven rainbows are bursting out of my chest,
The Gates of Beginnings are covered with snow
They are receding down below...
We fly!
Inside me there's half a ton
Of awakening spring
For those, who sleep in the mist,
For those, who sleep and see dreams...
Blinding light of spring!
For those, who see dreams.
Decade after decade,
Like rocks into the millstones
Fly the living fates of those,
Whose joy and love are still alive -
But the circle runs around,
And only sand streams between the millstones,
And the world lies in the mist,
And there's no end to love -
Your great Love!
Inconceivable love...
That's the essence. Simple essence -
Shed your blood for heavens.
Death and love is our path!
Love is strong as death!
(...Namu Amida Butsu...)
(...Tenno Heika Banzai...)
Love is strong as death -
His great Love...
Cockpit canopy punctured,
Direct fire from the destroyer
Blood gushing into my eyes,
I am here! Destroyer -
accept my love!
My great love,
Inconceivable love...
