迷途篇 Going Astray

in impassioned heart,
to hold her hand in one life.

All of a sudden,
cunning snake broke the silence,
and lies tore up the fact.
Would you separate from mate
or follow blindly?

Would you bristle with anger
or live and die together?
Would you keep the loyal advice

or go through fire and water?

Freedom
was calling afar.
Will

was disillusioned.
Standpoint
was swayed in hesitation.

The visible
prevailed over the fatal taboo.

A soft voice echoed:
Where are you?

You hid yourself from
what you should face,
the calm and holy one,

and the promise you have made.
