Lake Ashi / 芦ノ湖

 
Lylics
[Verse 1] Three thousand years ago, the mountain cried in fire and steam, Kamiyama broke apart, tearing through a silent dream. A river stopped its journey, held by ashes in the night, And Lake Ashi slowly opened, shining in the newborn light. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers in the water, echoes from the ancient land, Every ripple tells a story shaped by nature’s gentle hand. [Chorus] Oh Lake Ashi, deep and blue, Holding time like only you do. Legends sleeping in your waves, Nine-Headed Dragon once was saved. Sacred prayers still drift through, A thousand years belong to you. [Verse 2] In the age of Tenpyō, monks were guided by the flame, Built the shrine of Hakone, called the dragon by its name. Tamed the raging spirit, turned it to a guardian soul, Now its presence in the water keeps the lake forever whole. [Pre-Chorus] Softly blowing through the pines, ancient voices call again, Carrying stories of the past across the mountains and the rain. [Chorus] Oh Lake Ashi, deep and blue, Holding time like only you do. Legends sleeping in your waves, Nine-Headed Dragon once was saved. Sacred prayers still drift through, A thousand years belong to you. [Bridge] Edo dreams of water flowing, carved a tunnel through the land, With the will of those before us and the strength of many hands. Fukura’s stream still runs today, a promise carried on, Tracing back to Lake Ashi where its history was born. [Final Chorus] Oh Lake Ashi, deep and blue, Past and present shining through. Every story, every truth, Lives inside the heart of you. Mystic waters, calm and true, All the ages flow with you.

日本語
[Verse 1]
三千年の昔　山は火と蒸気に震え、鳴いた
神山は崩れ落ち　静かな夢を切り裂いた
行く手を阻まれた川は　夜の灰にせき止められ
産声をあげた光の中に　芦ノ湖がゆっくりと広がった

[Pre-Chorus]
水面にささやく声　いにしえの地からの残響
さざ波のひとつひとつが　自然の情けが紡いだ物語

[Chorus]
おお 芦ノ湖よ　深く、青く
あなただけが知る　時を湛（たた）えて
波間に眠る　数多の伝説
かつて救われし　九頭の龍
今も漂う　聖なる祈り
千年の時は　あなたのもの

[Verse 2]
天平の世　僧侶たちは灯火に導かれ
箱根の社を築き　龍の名を呼んだ
荒ぶる魂を鎮め　守護の心へと変えた
その御霊（みたま）はいまも　湖を永久（とわ）に満たしている

[Pre-Chorus]
松林を抜ける柔らかな風　古（いにしえ）の声が再び響く
山々を越え　雨を越え　過ぎ去りし日々を運んでくる

[Chorus]
おお 芦ノ湖よ　深く、青く
あなただけが知る　時を湛えて
波間に眠る　数多の伝説
かつて救われし　九頭の龍
今も漂う　聖なる祈り
千年の時は　あなたのもの

[Bridge]
江戸の夢は水を求め　大地に隧道（ずいどう）を刻んだ
先人たちの意志と　多くの手のぬくもりによって
深良（ふくら）の流れは今も絶えず　約束を運び続ける
その歴史が産声をあげた　芦ノ湖へと遡りながら

[Final Chorus]
おお 芦ノ湖よ　深く、青く
過去と現在（いま）が　透き通ってゆく
すべての物語も　真実も
あなたの心の中に生きている
神秘の水よ　穏やかで、偽りなき姿
すべての時代は　あなたと共に流れてゆく

Intro Yeah Count it up, lose the count Kujukushima, listen Verse 1 Old Kitamatsuura coast, salt in the breeze Islands break apart like thoughts in the sea Ninety-nine they say, but the math don’t stick Two-oh-eight official, two-one-six legit Depends how you look, how you draw that line What’s a rock, what’s a life, what survives the tide High tide isolates, low tide lies Truth change shape when the water rise Hook Ninety-nine vibes but the count stay fluid Numbers get lost when the ocean do it Rock to reef, let the coastline prove it Kujukushima, too deep to do it Count ‘em up, nah, don’t even try Every wave got a different reply Verse 2 Most of ‘em quiet, no name, no sound Unmanned dots when the sun go down Only four where the lights stay warm Kuro, Taka, Mae, Todomari form Bridge to the land, rest drift free Human noise fade into the sea Stone stay patient, birds stay real These islands don’t flex, they just chill Hook Ninety-nine vibes but the count stay fluid Numbers get lost...
