Cherry Blossom Vengeance (Ouka’s Lament)
**(Verse 1)** Under the scarlet moon, my shadow dances alone, Katana drawn in silence, blade as cold as stone. They took my light, my guiding Dayu’s gentle hand, Left me with this fire burning across the land. Sharp eyes pierce the darkness, beauty masks the pain, Each step on this endless road echoes with the rain. Cherry blossoms scatter like tears I cannot shed, For revenge is the path where my weary heart is led. **(Pre-Chorus)** Goten... your shadow haunts these crimson skies, The one who stole my world, where my hatred lies. Ouraikiri sings, a whisper in the night, Slayer of the wicked, bearer of the fight. **(Chorus)** I am Ouka, warrior of the falling bloom, Wandering this battlefield, chasing certain doom. With sorrow in my beauty, vengeance in my stride, I'll cut through all the chaos till the pain subsides! Red moon rising, hear my battle cry, For Dayu’s sake, I’ll never say goodbye. Shinuchi flash, the sheath unleashes hell, In this quest for justice, only I can tell. **(Verse 2)** The wind carries whispers of a life I left behind, A girl who dreamed of peace, now a blade refined. Enemies fall like petals in the autumn gale, But victory feels hollow when the heart’s so frail. Beauty hides the sorrow, stare that breaks their will, Yet deep inside I wonder if this rage can ever still. From pocket dimensions, armor calls me back to war, No rest for the avenger, forever wanting more. **(Pre-Chorus)** Goten... your name a curse upon my lips, The goblin of the Scarlet Moon, source of all eclipse. One final duel awaits beneath the blood-red light, Where swords will clash and decide the endless night. **(Chorus)** I am Ouka, warrior of the falling bloom, Wandering this battlefield, chasing certain doom. With sorrow in my beauty, vengeance in my stride, I'll cut through all the chaos till the pain subsides! Red moon rising, hear my battle cry, For Dayu’s sake, I’ll never say goodbye. Ouka Raisen! The storm begins anew, In cherry blossom fury, I fight for truth. **(Bridge)** What comes after revenge, when the blade grows still? A Dayu’s dream of elegance on a distant hill? But for now the sword demands, the moon commands, I walk this lonely road with blood upon my hands. No scars upon this form, yet wounds that never heal, A samurai’s resolve made of iron and steel. **(Final Chorus - Softer, then building)** I am Ouka... petals on the wind, A fleeting beauty fighting till the end. Sorrow and the sword, forever intertwined, Under scarlet moonlight, my fate I redefine. One day the vengeance ends, the cherry trees will bloom, But tonight... I draw again, and seal your doom. **(Outro)** Ouka... Ouka... the blade hums your name, In the red moon's glow, I claim my flame.
