Clan 1: Sachi Miyoshi

"The Blossom falls now,

Cherry Blossom drifting high,

As his soul, it flies,

Once we were one; souls entwined,

but now my soul is but ashes.

The world smiled with him,

He, radiant, lit up the world

Vanquished now is he;

Desolate emptiness left

To fill the space remaining.

The world was once bright

Filled with light and joviality,

I chose to leave him,

To pursue the samurai,

My love shall never be known.

There is a cold breeze

The earth it shakes, sorrowful,

It's best treasure lost,

Death has come to claim his hand

And leave a carcass behind.

Now an empty husk,

Void of all; a gruesome sight

Beheaded was he,

As his blood spilt, the stars wept,

It was unbearable to watch.

Crimson blood river

Black pits the remnants of eyes,

Slaughtered like a lamb,

He was killed mercilessly

Never will Daiki smile again.

My soul is shattered

My soul has been ripped in two

Bleeding from it's pores

Now it's a barren wasteland

A slowly sinking lost hope.

A part of me's gone,

Washed away by rising tides,

Hollow and sunken

I wonder if I shall see him

When my eyes close forever.

I have to be strong,

It is my duty, honour,

I feel like falling

I can't hold the heavy load,

The weight has grown far too great.

My shoulders they sag,

My eyes have run out of tears,

Now the flood has stemmed,

The gushing water dried up,

No more droplets left to spend.

I want to give up,

For the world to crash and burn,

And come falling down,

I want to see him one last time.

But fate is so cruel,

Torn apart and left alone,

Wallowing in grief,

Deep in a pit of sorrow,
