Free-verse poetry based on the very first Touhou game. |
Beyond the Shingyoku The maiden journeys through two distant paths Hell, the realm of torment - Gate of Aka Makai, the realm of demons and their spells - Gate of Ao She will defeat the evil spirits The gates have opened Darkness awaits her To repair the shrine of the gods No matter which way She shall be tormented by the labors In order to initiate Misogi Through the gate of Aka There is the realm of Hell The maiden embarks in this demonic journey She sufferes from the bright light of the damned Moon Kikuri is the ominous light of Hell Removing the light of the surface She encounters this spirit With the Onmyoudou she conquers the Moon Mima, master of dark magic, was next to face her They fought with powerful sorcery Reimu fires the art of yin and yang Mima falls, and the maiden moves forward Deep in the dephs of Hell There dwells its greatest warrior of the Silent Temple The Astral Knight, master of the dark sword They fight in Avici - blood drips everywhere She uses the orb of light and dark, and beheads her Through the gate of Ao There is the realm of Makai The maiden embarks in this demonic journey She sufferes thorugh curses and torture Five eyes watch her and laugh at her She looks at them face to face She unleashed the onmyoudou once more Five eyes falls to this power She then fights an devil in the wastelands They fought for hours The maiden is triumphant once more Now she enters the ruins The ruins of the angel of Death She fights against the fallen Deep within the abyss Now she wonders how deep she has truly gotten The final fight beigns With the last of onmyoudou Reimu defeats her opponent Now Misogi is activated, the shrine is restored Now she returns from the Abyss But as she does, the shrine is destroyed once more In an explosion, it had caught her off guard Now she lays, to die, in the cold-hearted existence Her demonic journey, is now over |
