Whispers of the Fallen

[Verse 1] Steel in my hand Dust on my tongue Stood on this field Now the battle is done Te ni kōtetsu o nigirishime shita ni wa sajin no aji kono senjō ni tachitsukushi ima, tatakai wa owatta Blades in the grass Names in the ground Every cut I carried No one left around Kusamura ni tsukisasaru ha jimen ni kizama reta namae watashi ga shotte kita kizuato mawari ni wa daremoinai [Pre-Chorus] I raise my face to the sky Ask the clouds "Tell me why?" Watashi wa kao o sora ni muke kumo ni toikakeru `nazena no?' [Chorus] Kaze ga sasayaku Furuki koe (oh) The wind carries every vow they chose to make Yama to tani wa Nagareru uta Mountains and valleys sing for the brave who stayed I am one I am many In the echo of their honor I remain [Verse 2] Blood on the flag Ash on the snow I walk through the quiet Where their shadows still glow Hata ni kekkon yuki no ue ni hai shijima no naka o aruku karera no kage ga ima mo nao kagayaku basho o Heart like a drum Ribs like a gate Guarding the memory So it won’t fade Shinzō wa taiko no yō ni hibiki rokkotsu wa mon no yō ni kioku o mamori kesshite iroasenai yō ni [Pre-Chorus] I touch the scar on my chest Ask my soul "Did I give my best?" Mune ni aru kizuato ni fure jibun no tamashī ni toikakeru `watashi wa saizen o tsukushita nodarou ka?' [Chorus] Kaze ga sasayaku Furuki koe (hey) The wind carries every vow they chose to make Yama to tani wa Nagareru uta Mountains and valleys sing for the brave who stayed I am one I am many In the echo of their honor I remain [Bridge] Hitori samurai Michi wa nagai (Still you rise, still you rise) [Low male vocal] Kokoro wa orezu Tsurugi wa nai (Only your name, only your name) [Both] Chiri ni kaette mo Uta wa kieru koto nai Even if we fall Our song survives [Chorus] Kaze ga sasayaku Senzo no koe The wind carries all the voices of the past Yama to tani wa Mamoru kotoba Mountains and valleys guard the sacred path I am one I am many In the echo of their honor I remain I remain (I remain)
