## Romanized Lyrics

なんていうことをしたのだ
俺を迎えてくれたその手に
その日、泥棒犬になるとは
恐ろしい、闇に響く
この胸の叫び声
また過ちを犯すつもりか

１５年前に俺の道は消えた
囚人番号付けられ
俺の名前は消されて鎖に繋がれた
不知火の愛の罪で

どうして赦せよう、魂触れて
愛まで与えて、兄弟と俺を呼んだ
認めていいのか、こんなことを
憎まれた俺は、この世を憎んだ

石のように、心を閉じて
生きてきたのだ、俺の人生えぇぇぇぇいっ！

またも地獄へ送り返さずに
自由をくれたのだ、恥に塗れた俺に
こんな魂が、救えるか
生まれ変わるのが神の御心か

先も見えない、闇を這い出そう
光を求めて、別れを告げよう
罪が渦巻く
勝木幸村の世界と
勝木幸村は死んで
生まれ変わるのだぁぁぁぁぁっ！！

Nante iu koto wo shita no da
Ore wo mukaete kureta sono te ni
Sono hi, dorobō inu ni naru to wa
Osoroshī, yami ni hibiku
Kono mune no sakebigoe
Mata ayamachi o okasu tsumori ka

Jūgo-nen mae ni ore no michi wa kieta
Shūjin bangō tsuke rare
Ore no namae wa kesarete kusari ni tsunaga reta
Shiranui no ai no tsumi de

Dōshite yuruse yō, tamashī furete
Ai made ataete, kyōdai to ore wo yonda
Mitomete ii no ka, Konna koto wo
Nikumareta ore wa, kono yo o nikunda

Ishi no yō ni, kokoro o tojite
Ikite kita noda, ore no jinseeeeei!

Matamo jigoku e okuri kaesazu ni
Jiyū o kureta no da, haji ni nureta ore ni
Konna tamashī ga, sukueru ka
Umare kawaru no ga kami no okokoro ka

Saki mo mienai, yami wo haidasou
Hikari wo motomete, wakare wo tsugeyou
Tsumi ga uzumaku
Katsuki Yukimura no sekai to
Katsuki Yukimura wa shinde
Umare kawaru no daaaaaa!!

What have I done? Amaterasu, what have I done?
Become a thief in the night, become a dog on the run
Have I fallen so far, and is the hour so late
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate
The cries in the dark that nobody hears
Here where I stand at the turning of the years?

If there's another way to go
I missed it fifteen long years ago
My life was a war that could never be won
They slew the dragon and his love was gone
When my enemies showed no mercy
Just for my love for Shiranui

Yet, why did I allow this man
To touch my soul and teach me love?
He treated me like any other
He gave me his trust
He called me brother
My life he claims for God above
Can such things be?
For I had come to hate the world
This world that always hated me

Take an eye for an eye
Turn your heart into stone
This is all I have lived for
This is all I have known!

One word from him and I'd be back
Beneath the lash, upon the rack
Instead, he offers me my freedom
I feel my shame inside me like a knife
He told me that I have a soul
How does he know?
What spirit comes to move my life?
Is there another way to go?

I am reaching, but I fall, and the night is closing in
As I stare into the void, to the whirlpool of my sin
I'll escape now from that world
From the world of Yukimura Katsuki
Yukimura Katsuki is nothing now
Another story must begin!!

## Usage

The mysterious cloaked man walked into a dark alleyway somewhere in Tokyo, where he sees Yukikaze's pendant that was discarded from Yomihara up into the surface, amidst the garbage scattered on the ground. He takes off his hood, revealing to be Yukimura Katsuki, and picks up the pendant. Yukimura sings his hymn of regret that he is unable to act for fifteen years after he faked his death in his battle against Nobunaga Oda and left his lover Shiranui Mizuki alone to raise their child, and unable to take back those fifteen years. By the end of the movie, he leaps into the air and transforms into his kaiju form, the samurai dragon Amatsu.
