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
