Kitsune

Is it love that casts this haze?
Is it love that pours down like rain?

A procession of offerings

There’s a moment, and then there’s forever
Tears fall softly from a faint smile

The lantern’s light brings a cold warmth
Rising up, then fading away... rising again, fading...
Only footsteps shift from right to left...

A haunting melody
In a frenzy
Lured by the moonlight
"I can’t see... I can’t see..." I cry out, tiptoeing in fear

From afar, I hear the festival music
The drums echo, a thousand laments

Does warmth reject that life like this...
Does a child’s heart cast away that life like this...

The lantern’s light brings a cold warmth
Rising up, then fading away... rising again, fading...
I notice the footsteps behind me...

A haunting melody
In a frenzy
Lured by the moonlight
"I can’t see... I can’t see..." I cry out, tiptoeing in fear

Breath is heavy... can’t go back...
Where am I...?
"I’m scared... I’m scared..." I cry out, as the festival music changes

A haunting melody
In a frenzy
