Bilingual
I set out on the longest road
To seek the answers from Death
I set out to the black sacred stream
To seek out and shoot a white swan
On desolate and stony paths
From a mountain to a vale
I reached the shore and saw it come
Into my view, the swan
I took the arrow and raised my bow
I aimed below the graceful neck
Under the white of its breast
Inside the red of its heart
ย
The surface of the river calm and black
Reflects the sky, the pale moon
And there a glimpse caught of myself
I'm shattered, the vision is ruined
An arrow from the water
A serpent rips my mind
Into the black river of Death
With a slash across my heart
I took the arrow and raised my bow
I aimed below the graceful neck
Under the white of its breast
Inside the red of its heart
ย
I took the arrow and raised my bow
I aimed below the graceful neck
Under the white of its breast
Inside the red of its heart
My last sight a white swan
Behind the swan a starless sky
Under the sky a coal black river
Reflected a bone white moon
