Houjou Yayoi Lyrics



Composer: Hisui (翡翠)
Lyrics: GIW (祇羽)
Vocal: Yura Hatsuki (葉月ゆら)

Japanese
祭祀 豊穣呼び込む神器 (saishi houjou yobikomu shinki)
祖霊 信仰営む世界 (sorei shinkou itonamu sekai)

環濠 水浅葱な遮る闇 魑魅魍魎 (kangou mizuasagina saegiru yami chimimouryou)
戦神帝絆 舞い降りて神事の口火切る (senshin mikado kizuna maiorite shinji no kuchibi kiru)

青銅貫く魂 語る黄泉歌 (seidou tsuranuku tamashii kataru yomi uta)
皇歴六百 忌火祓う神籬 (koureki rokuhyaku imibi harau himorogi)
祭神墳丘燃やし 統べる勾玉 (saijin funkyuu moyashi suberu magatama)
御剣天名下る 卑弥呼打ち払え (mitsurugi tenmei kudaru Himiko uchiharae)
戦勝太鼓響く (senshou taiko hibiku)

豊穣笛鳴り憑代を祀り (houjou fue nari yorishiro o matsuri)
自然の宴に酒恵みに酔い (shizen no utage ni sake megumi ni yoi)
うつろい散る供物 幽暗の倭国 (utsuroi chiru kumotsu yuuan no wakoku)

減退し民は飢え 神瞑る滅亡の危機 (gentaishi tami wa ue kami tsumuru metsubou no kiki)
隠世から「神皇産霊神」降臨し弥生改革 (kakuriyo kara "kamimusubi" kourinshi yayoi kakumei)

環濠 水浅葱に新緑透き通った葉が舞う (kangou mizuasagi ni shinryoku sukitootta ha ga mau)
豊神帝絆 現世 護り託し夢に宿す (koushin mikado kizuna utsushiyo mamori takushi yume ni yadosu)

English translation
Ritual, the sacred treasures that attract fertility
Ancestry, the world that conduct faith

In the circular moat is darkness covered in teal, evil spirits of the wild
With the bonds the emperor with the gods of war, the ritual intiates with the flames flying down

Spirits through grey bronze, speaking of songs of the underworld
600 years of imperial history in the primitive shrine for purification with the imibi fire
Setting the shrine mound ablaze under the controlling matagama gems
Under the heavenly name of the mitsurugi sword, repelling Himiko
Sounding the Taiko drums of victory

The whistle of fertility sounds, worshipping the spirit-dwelling artifact
Drinking in grace to the feast of nature
Transient offerings falling across the dark nation of Wa

Any declination means starvation of the people, a crisis of extinction where even gods close their eyes
From hiberation Kamimusubi descends, preluding to the Yayoi Revolution

In the circular moat, a clear fresh green emerges from the teal among dancing leaves
With the bonds the emperor with the gods of fertility, protecting the current generation, storing the entrusted dreams
