Imperfect Immortality (feat. REMI;​(​B​)​)

from The Yama King by Yumi Sakata

/

about

A backburner track. Has this one cooking for a while, it just needed a vocalist. Luckily one approached and delivered. The end result is the first single for this album. Also, this song has the most blastbeats I've ever done. Blastbeat city!

Tuning: D Standard

lyrics

listen up, lost wandering soul
i will tell you a story as one's past unfolds
a lonely life, that can never age
will u lend an ear to the wisdom from such sage

a spoiled life, the princess of the moon
beauty birthed from nobility
a bowl a branch a robe a jewel a shell to have my hand
an impossibility
yet i question this life, perfect as a dream
is this the life i want? i ponder and think
then i spot the chalice, the elixir of desire
i raise my glass and drink

cast out! is how they punish me
betrayed by those beneath my feet
princess no more, my lunar home is gone
i escape to the greener world below
i shall now live on dirt soil and filth
with the humans i so hate
isolated hidden within bamboo, my new home Eientei

eternal youth health and memory, is my perfect immortality
exiled cast out cuz I'm an ageless being, stuck in a death-loop of my own morality

stuck in a death-loop of my own mortality

i now sit and wonder what went wrong, is betrayal worth my peace
