[Intro - Very short intro. Begin immediately with a soft female "Ah..." vocal, warm and breathy, singing only 1-2 long soothing phrases. No instrumental introduction before the voice. Soft koto resonance and distant gagaku shō enter quietly underneath. No lyrics, no shinobue, no flute, no shakuhachi, no percussion. End the intro quickly and transition smoothly into Verse 1. C-D-E-G-A] [Verse 1] 高天原に神、留まります 神漏岐、神漏美の命もちて 夜風の運ぶ過ちも、清め給へと祈り申す [Chorus] 八百万の神々の慈しむ、和魂の御手もて 人の子のおかせる無邪気なる罪 許し給へ、守り給へ…… [Interlude - Very short and quiet. Sparse koto notes, soft gagaku shō, and distant kagura bells. The female vocalist continues singing a gentle sustained "Ah..." throughout the entire interlude. Do not create a silent instrumental section. The voice remains the main melodic focus. C-D-E-G-A] [Verse 2] 日の沈みゆくこの道を 健やかに過ごせし、あな嬉し 尊き神のお導き感謝の心捧げ奉る [Chorus] 災ひや厄の波、遠つ世へ押し祓ひ 人の子を温かき抱擁にて 救ひ給へ、導き給へ…… [Bridge] 夜の静寂に満ち渡る、神々の息吹を感じて 心安けく、眼閉じよ…… [Outro] 祓ひ給へ…… 清め給へ…… 守り給へ…… 幸ひ給え…… (かしこみ……かしこみも……まうす……) [Fade gently into complete silence]
