lyrics

I sit in the dark shade
Of the shrine that bears my name
Trying to feel the ground beneath me
I am decreasingly grounded these days
Floating through this earthen mound
The locals call a mountain
And I call upon myself
And the obedient Mishaguji look on
In silent laughter
And I join in
For that is all I can do
Is that all I can do?
In this moment, perhaps
And what of the next?

Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Remember forever and ever
Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Remember forever and ever (and ever and ever and ever...)

I sit in the dark shade
Of the shrine that bears my name
Listening to the wind through the trees
The wind is all I hear nowadays
The wind that took my land
The wind that took me
And swept me off my feet
And onto my knees
Only to reveal the wind
Kneeling in return
That slithering wind
She would never admit
That the sky needs the earth
To support its weight

Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Remember forever and ever
Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Memento Moriya
Remember forever and ever (and ever and ever and ever...)

I sit in the dark shade
Of the shrine that bears my name
Sipping something pleasant
But ultimately unimportant
Fantasizing about the life of my desecendant
Who happily handed me this tea
Able to create the unexpected
Able to create the future
A future untethered by ancient responsibility
And yet she is tethered to both the earth and the sky
As I also am
Still, I fantasize about being her
To have such potential futures
Is that why I keep to this childish form?
So that I may delude myself over time
That I may grow into a growing woman again?
I can no longer recall such a time in my life
And it fills me with emptiness
And I take another sip to fill it as I sink into myself
And I feel myself being called
And I slip into my purest form
Which should fulfill me, yes, yes it should
But, kero kero, it has never been enough...

You may call upon a frog
And this frog will croak for you
But as the blessings and curses end
This frog will slip back into the mud
Entombed in the past
Unseen by the future
And despite everything
Alive
