Youmu's theme. ...This song is so beautifully atmospheric. It brings you back to ancient times, when a certain precious tree was in bloom... I love it and I love Youmu, such a fascinating character who's split along a lot of borderlines.

Youmu Konpaku: "Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple"
Original music by ZUN.
English lyrics and fandub vocals by me.
---
roots take life newly
touched... pale limbs fully flushed... caught
in historic bloom
--once
There... gently to awake... as the dawn will break...
Whispers in the ear... echo ever clear----
Swords adeptly drawn... Moving forward on...
Cut off at the seam... Gone to chase that dream....
But a dream, another dream,
A relic of yet another ancient memory.
Another face, another task,
Another question never asked.
Another night, another day,
And a path that leads another way.
Another self, another half,
Another speck upon a draft.
One form, balanced at a hinge,
As a body that transcends its own definition.
One soul, frayed along the fringe,
As a seal shall bind two halves to one. Ah--
Once too late, once too soon:
Guided by the aura of an incompleted moon.
Once too much, once too few:
Grasp for every blossom blowing through.
Once too hard, once too soft:
Once to strike a vital point, and once to sweep it off.
Once too dark, once too bright:
Fading ever slowly to the night.
Drawn too near, passed too far:
Delicately distanced from the place where Others are.
Once too weak, soon too strong:
No more needing one place to belong.
Yet -- as one -- I go, still:
To this world I've ventured with a purpose to fulfill.
Once so clear, now so vague:
Shall this cut destroy or shall it save?
