Oh, dreamlike winter butterfly: 
a puff of...

There is a wish to achieve grand heights;
To alleviate the pain of separation,
Find antidotes for great plights.

The day was bright and grey
A fake smile on my face
But I was involved with myself,

This summer breeze
upon my menacing blade,
no kaishakunin, only emptiness,
empty mindedness,
unafraid

The Hokkaido seas
restless like a school child,

Never in a Tausug...

When you can exist in peace,
Achieving complete...

Enemies won't spare those brave; by
