J-Rock: Susanoo no Mikoto - The Storm and the Snake

Exiled from the High Celestial Plains, Susano-o descended to the land of Izumo as a rogue deity. Between the roar of the sea and the crackle of lightning, he faced the ultimate terror: the eight-headed serpent, Yamata no Orochi. A story of fall, redemption, and the birth of a legendary blade. -------- Lyrics: 日本は刃より生まれ (Japan was born of the blade) 刃にその魂が宿る (And within the blade, its soul resides) The storm he was The sea he was He cared not for divine laws A being of many flaws One day he crossed the line For the very last time He was sentenced to exile Banished from the divine A village in ruins A family cryin' A monster demandin' The scene he was seein' Cast out from the divine He roamed the land A friend to mankind He lent a helping hand A foe so colossal It made the earth shake Order against chaos The story of the Storm and the Snake He reached for the man He offered help 8 jars of saké To cloud the snake's heads Hills crushed by its weight Valleys made by its form 8 heads laid in wait The arrival of the storm Drink was the first blow Then sword picked up the flow Lightning brought it low A feast for the crows Cast out from the divine He roamed the land A friend to mankind He lent a helping hand A foe so colossal It made the earth shake Order against chaos The story of the Storm and the Snake From its tail a vision like none The sign a new era begun A sword the storm had won The first ray of a rising sun 八雲立つ (Eight clouds arise) 出雲八重垣 (An eightfold fence of Izumo) 妻籠みに (To dwell with my beloved) 八重垣作る (An eightfold fence I build) その八重垣を (Oh, that eightfold fence) Cast out from the divine He roamed the land A friend to mankind He lent a helping hand A foe so colossal It made the earth shake Order against chaos The story of the Storm and the Snake Order against chaos The story of the Storm and the Snake --------- If the redemption of the Storm God inspired you, join the Phalanx.
