Alley

The castle stands with towers spiraling tall The moat is green but almost as dark as coal The trees creating a lane leading to it are colorful in fall In the spring also colorful flowers warm the soul There are apple trees in this lane And cherry with red flowers with beauty hard to explain Rare kawakamii tree with its sapphire flowers on the outskirts remain Great Kings moved their processions under this lane during a campaign As enemy army was approaching knight rode to warn the king And of the great battle after ballads would sing Victorious was the king But knight died in that very lane hit by poison arrow as news he would bring The soil was drenched in blood Just as the battlefield blood would flood But brave knight was immortalized in a ballad And trees in that lane grew even more beautiful after he died as they were blessed They are now full of beauty Full of majesty With divine counterbalance the knight will be His abilities beyond furthest reaching continuity Even if dying in the lane was his destiny Never again the beauty Of the alley of those trees to see His soul is now free
