music: Hora/ lyrics: Kaya

Facing the the sad rain as it beats down on me
I lift my head up to glare at the sky
Irritation plucking at my breast,
I leave my memories behind and strike

Could my wish be granted now
I'd wish for the power to be reborn
If I've no value as I am,
I'll have to make it for myself

tsuyoku insan na ame
massugu ni uke sora o niramu
mune o kakimushiru shousou
okisari no kioku
tatakitsuketa

ima negai ga kanau nara umarekawaru chikara o
[kachi]nado nai no nara mizukara no te de tsukuru dake

The beam of light tearing a rift through the clouds in my hands
Jolted with a melody and dancing the eye of the storm
I'll carves apart the blazing red dark
And shake the sky as I race through, a bloodcurtling Walkure

kumoma saku hitotsuji no hikari o kono te ni
senritsu ni yurarenagara arashi no naka odoru no
moeagaru sekishoku no yami o kirisaite
senritsu ni furuenagara sora o kakeru warukyu-ru

The whip adoration and abuse
Deep inside me something begins creaking to break
I live just barely alive

I know you can't see the sword I grasp in my hand
But I'll show you the light born from
the darkness of your own scornful laughter

muchi wa sanbi to batou
atashi no naka de kirikiri to nanika ga kowarete yuku
atashi wa girigiri no mama ikiru

migite ni nigiru tsurugi wa kesshite anata ni wa mienai
anata ga warau kono yami kara umareru hikari o misete ageru wa

Gathering the light tearing a rift through the clouds in my hands
And jolted with its energy dancing the eye of the storm
I'll carves apart the blazing red dark
And shake the sky in terrible awe as I race through
A bloodcurtling Walkure

kumoma saku hitotsuji no hikari o kono te ni
senritsu ni yurarenagara arashi no naka odoru no
moeagaru sekishoku no yami o kirisaite
senritsu ni furuenagara sora o kakeru warukyu-ru

Gathering the light tearing a rift through the clouds in my hands
And jolted with its energy dancing the eye of the storm
I'll carves apart the blazing red dark
And shake the sky in terrible awe as I race through
A bloodcurtling Walkure

kumoma saku hitotsuji no hikari o kono te ni
senritsu ni yurarenagara arashi no naka odoru no
moeagaru sekishoku no yami o kirisaite
senritsu ni furuenagara sora o kakeru warukyu-ru

Walkure are legendary vengeful German warrior maidens of Odin, and were rumored to be the ones who rode in battle and chose the fates of men. I once heard somewhere that they were also the barmaids at Valhalla. Those Norse (rolls eyes), they just had to have everything BIG and SCARY and BLOOD didn't they. Silly Odin.
Valkyrie (in english) seem to have gotten less vengeful and scary through the years, but they're still known for being warriors. I think of them as the opposite of my birth flower, the hanabishisou, which I just looked up. It's such an unempowered flower..."don't reject me" and all that : P It's a fine statement so long as it's not symbolic of one's birthday ;P They'd so step on that flower.

I also think he and Hora worked particularly well together for this song ; it's not my favorite on the CD, but it's respectable I feel.
