Kogai

's nature.

Since the beginning of the ages
Men provide just hate and rage
Bitterness rules their minds.
Look at that wars without end
Look at that burnt and ravaged lands
Agression, pain... You have no place to hide.

Greed for power! Wish to rule!
What an useless aim!
As long as human will exist
It will be the same.

No one knows where he came from
No one knows where he went
But an old man said that it was one of
the divine birds from the legends,
Who stalking all around
And teach us to value the peace.


2. KISS OF KUNOICHI

Lord of five provinces is jolly today,
He wants to have some fun and is ready to pay,
A young maid was called from Yoshiwara streets,
The elegant one with soft skin and quick wits.

She sings a song, her voice's clean and sad,
Hey, man, it seems you are loosing your head,
But you don't know that she is a spy,
Just kiss her and you will certainly die.

Kiss of kunoichi is the deadly kiss,
Now you are reaching after lips that bring decease.
Venom Flowers from the Koga mounts
Have the power increasing body count.

Merciless beauty with heart cold as stone,
She knows how to manipulate the pawns,
No one could resist before her dark eyes,
Just kiss her and you will certainly die.

4. UJIYAMA HERMITAGE

My lowly hut is
In the southeast from the capital.
Thus I chose to live.
And the world in which I live
People named a "Mount of Gloom".

From this world I think
That there is nowhere to escape.
I wanted to hide
In the mountains' farthest depths;
But there I hear the stag's cry.

In my loneliness
I leave my little hut.
When I look around,
Everywhere it is the same:
One lone, darkening autumn eve.

As I view the moon,
Many things come into my mind,
And my thoughts are sad;
Yet it's not for me alone,
That the autumn time has come.

Color of the flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life vainly passes by,
As I watch the long rains fall.

For some men I grieve;
Some men are hateful to me;
And this wretched world
To me, with all my sadness,
Is a place of misery.


5. VERMILLION INSANE

When clushing steel is
Ringing out loud,
Then crying heaven
Will raining with blood

Swordsman in armour
Coloured like gore
Angry and fearless,
He is god of war

Insane - will kill you
Insane - will rip you
Insane - will tear you
Fear him!

Eyes of the beast,
Mouth full of tusks
Face of this man
Is the Akuma's mask

When he is near
You cannot run
Terror will grip you
Reason will drown

Medieval heroes were cruel
But in that times it was the evidence of courage

Prophet of mayhem
Dancing in rage,
Crazy berserk,
Nasty savage

Bringer of torture,
Hunter for flesh
Taking the life
Just at one dash


6. KI

Ki is the Universe
Ki is the preternatural force
Ki is the ultimate life-source
Ki... in myself I feel it's course.

All the power of existence is concentrated in haragei
Energy streams embraces me, I'm so light that can fly away...

But in one moment my mind's blasting with light
I am the solid rock, do you really want to fight?

Drops of blood falling down and mix with morning dew,
You're fool if thought that I could not resist you.
Weapon itself is just an useless piece of steel
Killing outright directed only by my will.

I saw all your moves,
I knew all your thoughts,
So, you had no chance.

8. DEATH UK (FATAL LAVATORY)

Uesugi Kenshin was a glorious general
Pretending on shogunate, the power over all country,
His castle was one of the greatest strongholds,
But it hadn't stopped the assassins of Oda.

Kasumi Danjo, captain of guards, with the three men had patroled corridors,
But suddenly they were attacked by poisoned needles from the special tubule.

Ukifune Kempachi, the high-skilled saboteur,
Moves further to bedroom of Uesugi,
But someone grab his head and wring it aside,
Kasumi just pretended to be dead.

But it was too early to calm down,
'Cause it was another one invader,
Relative of killed Kempachi,
Most dangerous Ukifune Jinnai.
He was the minikin
And trained himself to delicate missions.
He spent a great number of hours
In the pot with liquid clay.

So he had settled in lavatory
With the long sharp spear.

At the morning, when Uesugi set over hole Jinnai jumped up
And impaled the lord from the anus right to the throat.


9. LITTLE TENGU SHINOBI

Clouds in the sky, moon has disappeared,
You have a strange feeling that someone is here,
Whistle of the shuriken in it's flight
Proclaims the death in the night.

Shadows are everywhere,
He is coming, so beware,
Be vigilant and watch your back
Or listen to the crunch of your neck

To get over the ditch and climb up the wall,
Slaughter the guards to achieve own goal,
Commit the arson or steal secret plan
Is the work for shinobi from ancient clan.
