祖堅正慶 (Masayoshi Soken)
Close In The Distance
Whispers falling silently, drift on the wind
But I hear you
Our journey now a memory fading from sight
But I see you

Unbroken, promises we made so long ago
You're still here
Unspoken requiem for the river of tears

Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea
And yet our hope remains
Guiding, lighting the way
No time for mourning

Rises on a land reborn from the ashes
'Neath the heavens'
To sunset blood-red skies, tranquil after the storm
Blessed shadow

Turning, wеnding, always night follows day
The sun will shine again
Walk on, nevеr look back
Through you, we live

Tales of loss and fire and faith
Every word on our hearts engraved
In the dark you will not stray
Forge ahead, till the end, we pray
