Tomorrows that never come.


This one isn't an original composition, this is from my favorite Manga, Kozure Ōkami (子連れ狼) or Lone Wolf and Cub, it appears in a Chapter of the same name. It's an incredible read, maybe the greatest epic ever written.

Kill One ... We kill for today
Kill Two ... We kill for tomorrow
Kill three souls ... The blood flows thick
Hatred is heavy
And blood is dark.

Though tears can be hidden
All hearts break.

Starlight seeps into the bone
Blood runs dry in frozen hearts
And night descends
On tangled fields.

A homeless journey
Beyond dark fate.

Lament of Wildflowers
Moan of Wind
Blooming in shadow
Hell's sweet blossoms.

Eyes fixed on fleeting phantoms
We look to tomorrows
That never come.
