That twirling oath will dance throughout the vast sky
Take my hand and walk the path of Shinobi!
The eastern sky is set ablaze, dyed in a crimson red
I'm trapped amidst a dream and reality, and now my heart begins to beat
Walking a fateful path, guided by a shining light
That leads me towards the truth
Time passes by and I continue to remain the same
I've been burned by the very flame of my own wish
But that won't stop me from seeking it out
Even though the pain of being hurt has worn me thin
I hang my head down to its lowest depths
And let the heat of my boiling blood engulf me
Hope given to me by the fluttering leaves in the wind
Brings forth a gleaming and everlasting solemn vow
That twirling oath will dance throughout the vast sky
And transcend the limits of our time
Take my hand and walk the path of Shinobi!
My blade is stained with blood, its tip a crimson red
My grip remaining steadfast, though my hands are trembling
Two opposing shadows, bound by the threads of fate
Head towards a preordained meeting
Through the eyes of the armor I can now clearly see
A new world that previously had been hidden from me
I cannot return to what was before
Even now as my chosen path of strife is paved with pain
My ferocious will and instincts will see me through
Along with trusty steel in hand!
This feverish passion given to me by the
Brings forth the power to change history
(...)
Walk the path of Shinobi once again!
Time passes by and I continue to remain the same
I've been burned by the very flame of my own wish
But that won't stop me from seeking it out
Even though the pain of being hurt has worn me thin
I hang my head down to its lowest depths
And let the heat of my boiling blood engulf me
Hope given to me by the fluttering leaves in the wind
Brings forth a gleaming and everlasting solemn vow
That twirling oath will dance throughout the vast sky
And transcend the limits of our time
Take my hand and face destiny together!
Walk the path of Shinobi once again!
Notes
The song title refers to the Japanese mythological deity of the same name. The name is probably chosen to fit in Shinobi's ninja motif since it is also used in several ninja-related media, such as a ninja technique "Izanagi"Ā in theĀ Naruto series.
