Silver Mantis |
Seito lived in the canyon of the dragons |
Sashiko lived in the valley of the moon |
They met along the highway to Aomeri |
Where danger in the forest loomed |
Shashiko dressed in silks and dreamed of heroes |
She was carried in a hammock draped and veiled |
Her father was a cruel and brutal warlord |
Who fearful kept her in a shell |
Seito, he was but a lowly servant |
But his master knew him to be true and brave |
When he happened on the scene of her abduction |
He sent her captors to their graves |
Seito guarded Sashiko to her palace |
He had no thought of ransom to conceal |
She took him in and washed his cuts and bruises |
And laid him softly down to sleep |
When morning came, she rose to tell her father |
Of the stranger who had ruined the kidnap plot |
But jealous and enraged her father seized him |
And chained him in the dungeon dark |
Sashiko’s tears flowed like the river Edo |
As she pleaded Seito’s freedom face to floor |
But the warlord turned his back and would not hear her |
His mercy withered years before |
When night fell, she crept down into the dungeon |
Two daggers hidden underneath her coat |
And there they slept in death by harakiri |
Her father’s chains around them both |
