We lost 300 ryo, thanks to your meddling.

We won't go back empty-handed.

If your hands are so empty, will you hold this?

Is it true they hired you for only 20 ryo?

Yes.

The sword we stole was a treasure given to them by the shogun.

And they'll only pay twenty to get it back?

Ridiculous!

They're a poor, small clan.

Trying to swindle 300 ryo for a sword is asking too much.

Shut up, you bastard!

Looks like a nasty storm's brewing...

Can't waste my time here!

Ninja scroll

Oh, thank you.

That was one hell of a storm!

You got that right!

My roof got blown off and scared my wife so bad that she went into labor.

It was really something.

That's your seventh kid, right?

Nope, the ninth.

Whoa! You must really love your wife!

Isn't that sakichi's daughter from shimoda village?

What's with her?

What's wrong?!

Dead...

Everybody's dead.

D-dead?!

Plague... because of the plague...

M-m-my god!

Do not go beyond this point!

This road's closed until the plague is over.

Plague?! I'm out of here!

What is it?

Sir, my scout saw a strange group of men ride toward shimoda village late last night.

It might have something to do with the plague, so I came to tell you, Chamberlain.

Meaning what? That they spread a plague as they passed through the village?

Ridiculous! Why would they do that?

Something's fishy.

Let it go.

On second thought, we can't.

This is the order to all of you koga ninja.

Go to shimoda village and find out what really happened.

Sir!

But if any of your people get infected...

Understood, sir.

The first group will follow the shirakawa river from the north.

The second will cross taro pass from the west.

You'll reach shimoda village in about an hour. Understand?

Hikoza saw them. There were only eight.

No match for us.

Our real enemy is this plague.

Yes, that's true.

Kagero...

You intend to leave me behind, lord hanza?

You have your own duties, don't you?

Poison tasting is very important. Don't forget that.

While our lord is away from his domain, my services are not needed.

Until he returns...

I am one of the koga ninja!

I cannot take you with us.

With all of you going out on this suicide mission, there is no way I can sit here and wait all alone!

Kagero's gotten even more beautiful.

All the more reason to pity her.

She must hate her destiny.

Enough. Where are hikoza and the others?

They were right behind us. I'll have a look.

Hey! What are you doing?

Wh-what the...?!

There!

Shit!

Kagero, report this to the Chamberlain!

Go now!

You'll live a little longer if you just stay quiet.

Either way's fine by me. Doing a dead girl would be fun, too.

That's better.

I'm busy here. Get lost!

Didn't you hear me?

The road's out and I had to make a detour, but now I'm lost.

Can you tell me how to get to kakio?

That's not nice...

I thought I told you to get out of here!

Forget it. Once I get rid of this meddler I'll take my time torturing you to death.

What's wrong? Sorry you didn't run when I told you to?

No, just thinking... about your body.

Your body can't be rock hard everywhere!

Let's go!

Tessail

you are indeed a sorry sight. But no need to pursue him so.

I'll kill him!

I won't allow it. Don't forget our mission.

Consider my word as lord genma's order.

Understood?

We're leaving.

Who was that freak?

Forget it. I don't want to see him again, anyway.

I'm grateful to you. I am kagero of the koga ninja.

I'm jubei. Jubei kibagami.

Are you all right?

It's none of your concern!

The town of kakio is to the west. This is where we go our separate ways.

Who is it?

Kagero of the koga, sir.

What's wrong?

Twenty ninja led by hanza attempted to infiltrate shimoda a while ago. They were wiped out.

Really? Who killed them?

A very formidable opponent. Beyond that, I cannot say.

Useless, all of them.

And you're the only survivor?

Yes.

Until we learn who he is and what he's up to, we can't risk sending men to that plague village.

The first task at hand is to go back and find out.

We'll figure out what to do later. Now go...

Hey...

I know the way now, so I'm good...

No, you're going the wrong way.

The river to hell...

Ils this way!

Ow...

Okay, I got it. Let's call it a draw.

Not yet. I still owe you.

That's brutal.

If we keep this up, one of us is going to die.

"One of us"?

There's no reason we should kill each other.

If you're not going to end this... I will!

Like hell!

Strange skill you have. But it can't hurt this body of mine.

Seems that way.

What's wrong, monster? Your skin's starting to crumble!

Diel

Splendid!

Your sword flew swift as the wind itself and slashed your enemy like a cyclone's touch.

He was no match for you. Why don't you join me?

Your skills will be of great help to me to fight the likes of him.

You're joking. Who'd want to fight a monster like him again?

You'll have to. They won't leave you alone.

You just killed one of the eight demons of kimon.

You didn't beat him by yourself, though.

That koga Kunoichi uses an interesting technique.

Lord genma. All is proceeding as planned.

It arrives from the dark shogun by six tomorrow evening.

Very well. Send him this message:

"We return in three days. There's nothing to worry about."

At once.

Isn't tessai back yet?

Benizato went to look for him.

For now, it's just the two of us.

Yurimaru... I've always loved you.

Don't push your luck, zakuro.

You're of no interest to me. Now, stay on the lookout.

So, it's true.

May your dreams be pleasant ones in lord genma's arms.

However, yurimaru, lord genma makes love to both men and women.

Did you know that he makes love to benizato?

Apparently not.

Where are you headed?

No place in particular. You?

I'm looking for somebody, and you look exactly like him, so...

Strangers can look alike. I'm jubei kibagami, a wanderer...

It was most certainly your face.

Tessai was able to make an impression of it.

Just leave me the hell alone!

That's just cast-off skin.

She shed it like a snake and escaped.

They're a bunch of monsters.

You've no obligation. I just didn't want you to die yet.

Who are these eight demons of kimon?

A group of ninja who work for the dark shogun.

You know of the dark shogun?

He wants to restore the toyotomi clan, the former rulers of Japan.

He has 16 lords behind him and is trying to expand his influence.

And he poses the biggest threat to the tokugawa shogunate.

His power is supported in the shadows by the eight demons of kimon.

What are they up to here in mochizuki?

That's what I came here to find out. It's a tough job.

How about working for me for 100 ryo?

A tokugawa spy wants to hire a ninja?

I'm afraid I have no choice. It's an emergency.

Only I managed to make it here to mochizuki.

The eight demons of kimon killed everyone else in my party on our way here.

I need your help by all means!

You'll never get away from them.

You'll have to fight them sooner or later.

How about it? You can kill two birds with one stone, right?

I don't think so. Now, why don't you just leave me alone?

I see. Too bad.

Such a pity...

You'll lose your precious life.

You sure are persistent.

No, what I speak of is literally of life or death importance to you.

You see, the tips of the shuriken were coated with a special type of poison.

It won't kill you instantly. But in 24 hours, when it starts to work, nothing can stop it.

Unless you use an antidote. And I happen to know how to use it.

If you work for me, I'll give you 100 ryo and tell you how to use it once the job is done.

You're bluffing.

I speak the truth.

Tell me now. What's the antidote?

Over my dead body. Killing me won't save your life.

Now you'll need the antidote for yourself.

Poor boy... you have so much to learn.

That isn't the one that hit you.

I threw that one away.

Shit!

Jubei kibagami... you've lost... amateur!

My name is dakuan. How do you do?

So, benizato...

This man named jubei kibagami is one of the remaining shogunate spies?

Possibly.

Why didn't you kill him?

Someone interfered.

No excuses!

If he's a government spy, he'll show up here soon.

Be sure to kill him this time.

I don't need you to tell me.

Yurimaru... I'll share this with lord genma in bed. Do you mind?

Makes no difference to me.

Jubei...

There's something I've been wondering.

Are you, by chance, the ninja who killed the chief retainers of the yamashiro clan five years ago?

He was supposedly a master swordsman, like you.

The retainers had gorged themselves with gold they secretly dug out of a hidden mine.

The ninja must have killed them by order of the lord who wanted to report the mine to the government.

Because if the government found the hidden gold mine first, the lord would have lost his fief.

But does that ninja know that after the retainers were killed,

the government received no report about the mine?

Why?

If a government spy like you knows all that, then why don't you do something?

No... even the government can't move without definite evidence.

Our spies tried many times to infiltrate the clan to find evidence, but none returned alive.

The dark shogun...

He stopped them by using the kimon ninja.

Why is the dark shogun helping the yamashiro clan?

Simple. He wants the gold mine for himself.

Do you know how he found the mine before the government?

Somebody gave him the information.

Somebody who was the leader of the ninja of the yamashiro clan.

Genma... himuro?!

Precisely.

I doubt that. He isn't in this world anymore.

No, he's still very much alive. And you'll see him soon.

Genma himuro is the boss of the kimon monsters.

What?!

Shh! Not so loud!

You can't use the same trick on me again!

Don't be hasty. You'll soon know the truth.

It must be a strange twist of fate that you two are connected.

Stop! You're all willing to kill your own friends?!

The lord's orders!

Our leader ordered us to!

It's a trick!

Now that we know the traitors' secret, they want to get rid of us by making us kill each other.

This is a trap for all of us. Shinkuro, believe me!

Jubei... forgive me.

Shinkuro!

His word...

Is law!

I avenged shinkuro and the others myself.

Genma can't possibly be alive.

We're getting close. The air smells of bloodthirsty ghosts.

Beyond lies hell itself.

This fog must be a blessing from heaven.

Hey!

Damn fog!

How could he have dodged my claw?

Who are you?

I heard a voice chanting the sutra.

I was praying for the dead villagers.

Don't you know about the plague in this village?

Poor soul. You most likely won't be able to leave this village alive.

Now, let us go to the land of Buddha together.

Did a traveling monk come by here?

He, too, will meet Buddha soon enough. I'll send him there.

Such a compassionate nun...

Shit! Another cast-off skin!

He got away. He uses a strange technique...

You're the one with the strange technique.

Answer me. Are there any others with you besides the monk?

Of course. And not just ten or twenty.

You can send a snake for each, and it won't be enough.

Liar!

All right! I'll tell you the truth.

There's two. One's the traveling monk.

The other...

Is right behind you.

Do away with the snakes. Every last one of them!

You'll be dead soon.

Away with them!

Now, it's your turn to answer.

What are you doing in this village? Tell me!

Another failure. Unforgivable.

I wrapped another line around your neck when we last met, but you didn't notice.

After all, you were just a foolish amateur.

Idiot! There's still time to suck the poison out!

Poison doesn't work on me. My body's immune to it.

We're even now.

Yeah. You saved my life.

Your name's kagero, right? What are you going to do now?

That's none of your concern.

If it isn't, then why the hell am I here?!

I have to discover their plan.

By yourself? Nonsense!

They're too strong. Think this over.

Stay out of my way.

I have no reason to take orders from you.

Hey, wait a minute, Kunoichi of koga.

My name is dakuan.

Why don't you join us?

This man is my right-hand man.

I wasn't planning on helping a government spy.

Oh, quit complaining!

What do you say, Kunoichi?

Our aims may differ, but the three of us share a common enemy.

And three is mightier than one.

And I happen to have some information that you don't.

Such as who is giving them their orders.

I'll tell you on the way.

I need no friends.

But I may need your information.

Hmm. Very well.

My, she's a lovely, sexy little thing, isn't she!

Hey. What are you scheming now?

Well now, that Kunoichi could prove very useful.

She has a technique that poisons the man she sleeps with.

The big guy you killed had been poisoned by her.

Anyone who makes love to her dies.

A perfect woman for this hellish world.

Your skill is as marvelous as ever.

No... he was able to kill a mighty ninja like tessai.

Don't let your guard down. It's possible he got away.

The four of you will check it out.

You're a cautious one, yurimaru.

We have an important mission. We take every precaution.

I know, I know. Don't worry.

Then go.

Yurimaru, benizato's death must've been a blessing for you!

Only the fish died.

Good. Otherwise, we wouldn't get our chance.

It's getting quite interesting, isn't it?

How is it? Just as we thought?

They poisoned the Wells and killed the villagers.

And then blamed it on plague.

A trick to keep other villagers away.

They're planning something... Quite extraordinary.

I'd like to know what it is.

That's fine, just don't get yourself involved too deeply.

It could prove fatal.

I see. Let the others know.

Run for it!

We can't outrun them.

Kagero...

So, the pollen is mixed with a sleeping potion.

But how long will it hold them back?

Why, you!

Kunoichi!

You have to hold them off till jubei kills him!

Do whatever it takes!

Call off your wasps!

I'm afraid you must beat me first.

You don't know anything, do you?

Do you think I ran in here to escape you?

Who cares.

I have lots of questions for you, but no time to ask them.

Why do you ask?

I ask because I sent him to hell before.

Is that so? Then I'll have to be careful.

Unlike lord genma, I don't have the technique to reincarnate myself.

Reincarnation?

You fool! You've damaged the hive!

The instant you come up for air, you're dead!

He's mine! Keep your hands off him!

What about the Kunoichi and the monk?

My wasps should finish them off soon.

How far is he planning to go? He doesn't know when to give up!

Do you think he's fallen victim to the throat needle?

No... the wasps in the hive are trying to escape the water.

Desperately stinging his body as they do so... mushizo's lost.

Took him long enough. So, he finally killed him.

Reincarnation? Did he mean genma himuro's come back to life?

Give me a break!

Reincarnation technique? I've heard of it before.

You must control your flesh and blood down to the tiniest bones.

If your limbs or even your head were cut off, you'd be able to rejoin them.

Reincarnation... that's a technique of immortality.

It can never be achieved by a human being.

Well, well... that's a terrible thing to go up against!

Anyway, all of the kimon monsters are after you now.

That means I can move easily.

If you're lucky, we'll meet again.

Why did you join him?

He hired me... for 100 ryo.

You're a mercenary ninja who'd do anything for money?

You could say that.

But he suckered me into it. This was his doing.

I'm going to drop dead from the poison in half a day.

He promised me an antidote along with the 100 ryo.

That's why I work for him. I can't back out now.

You'd better run for it while I divert their attention.

I can't do that. I'd be in your debt again.

Quit that.

And I told you I don't have to take orders from you.

Besides, I'm ready to die any moment.

Stop pretending you're so tough.

What?!

It's so damn hot, it's annoying!

I wish a storm would come and cool off that hot head of yours.

You're in no position to worry about me.

A storm...

They came on the night of that terrible storm...

Hey, where can I get a good view of the area?

Nothing.

Keep looking!

Hanza...

Wait!

Hanza!

There's a cliff in front of you! Stop!

Damn it!

Gotchal

shit!

Fool! They got you so soon? We still had a lot to do.

The scent of blasted flesh, grilled to perfection...

Such a lovely smell.

Don't... move...

That's enough. Let me go.

It's my fault I fell for their trap.

Shut up! Don't talk!

Let go of me! I don't want your help.

Shut up!

Grab onto this!

Just gonna hang on to me all day?

I am mujuro utsutsu. I've been longing to challenge you.

He's here for me. Stay here.

Was your plan to lure me here because I'm blind?

If you want to kill me, then don't make a sound.

That's impossible. But maybe I can use your skill to my advantage.

I told you to stay back!

Your sight is your weakness.

Outta the way!

Impossible...

Would you give it a rest?! What the hell were you thinking?!

What are you so obsessed about?

Shut up! You're the one obsessed with repaying me for saving you!

You act like you've got some kind of death wish!

Is it because of your body?

Is it true the men you sleep with die from the poison?

Sleep with me and you'll find out.

Idiot!

My body is saturated with poison.

It's so strong that a touch of my lips will kill you instantly.

No one can touch me. Anyone who dares to... dies.

Did the poison twist your heart, too?

How dare you!

I hate people who don't value their own lives.

What could you possibly understand?

The cargo on the ship that washed up in the storm two days ago.

That's what they're after.

They slaughtered the villagers like animals for it.

Where does this road lead?

Chamberlain!

Lord hyobu.

Is it true that the koga ninja who went to investigate shimoda village were wiped out?

Exactly.

But how?! This is an emergency.

I'll take my men to the village immediately.

No!

If this is serious enough to jeopardize the safety of our clan, we must move very carefully.

That's how small clans like ours survive.

But...

The Kunoichi who survived is continuing the investigation.

Wait for her report.

You're tired from being so tense all the time.

Get some more sleep.

Those wheel tracks lead to kashima harbor.

They're probably going to transport the cargo out by boat.

If I don't stop them, those dead villagers and the koga ninja will never rest in peace.

I'll cooperate with you till the mission's over.

But if you insult me again, I'll kill you without hesitation!

Listen well, you who labor for the dark shogun.

This mission could very well decide our fate!

This ship will reach mochizuki in a few hours.

We must retrieve the cargo at any cost!

Understood? At any cost!

The townspeople must have evacuated out of fear of the plague.

One horse was enough to scare them all away.

So, you came out in one piece. You had me worried.

It's nice to see you, too.

They're waiting for a boat to transport the cargo.

Did you check what the cargo is?

No, I couldn't reach it. But I can guess what it is.

Actually, I guessed before I came to mochizuki.

What?!

You haven't figured it out?

It's something that has to do with your past.

It's gold, boy.

Gold obtained from the yamashiro's secret mine.

The ship that washed up during the storm...

It was probably making its way from the yamashiro clan to the dark shogun...

With gold that was mined and collected over a span of five years.

If it reaches his hands, he'll be powerful enough to topple the tokugawa government...

And plunge the country into another civil war.

We have to stop it at any cost!

Dakuan, you left behind a trail.

What?!

Kunoichi, what are you doing?!

I'm calling a koga ninja bird that's in this village.

Calling a bird? What good would that do?

It'll carry my message to the castle Chamberlain.

I've discovered what they're after.

In two hours, his army will surround the town.

It's not as easy as you think.

The mochizuki clan will probably ignore this whole thing.

Why?!

The future of the clan is at stake.

This is a power struggle between the tokugawa and the dark shogun.

If a small clan like the mochizuki got involved, it'd be wiped out!

See nothing, hear nothing. That's the best course for the clan.

We'll find out soon whether or not the mochizuki will move.

What are you doing?

The man you hired is going to die from your poison.

Tell me how to save him.

What a surprise! You've fallen in love with jubei, haven't you?

Foolishness! I'm only doing it to repay him, nothing more!

I don't think so.

What's the point of a poison-tasting Kunoichi falling in love?

If you kill me, there'll be no saving him.

Yes, and that's where your mission ends.

Damn it!

Oh shit!

Calm down! That's the real cure for him.

If you want to save his life, there's no other way.

It's up to you.

Kunoichi in custody it must have happened when I went off for a moment.

She's probably no longer with us.

Well, we've got work to do.

We'll get no help from the mochizuki clan.

There is no need to fall for their trap.

Wait!

What if their ship comes while you're at it?

Forget her! Losing one Kunoichi doesn't make a difference!

Even with what we're up against?

You're as much of a monster as they are!

Nonsense! When you fight monsters, you must become one yourself or you can't win!

You damn fool! Go ahead! Go to hell!

Damn you...!

Are you all right?

Kagero!

So, you're hard to kill... Woman, put him out of his misery.

Jubei kibagami?

Yes. But we've already killed them all.

Nonsense. They still live.

I'll kill him for sure!

Stay where you are. Lure them there and kill them.

Understood?

Yes.

Never would I have imagined to see him here.

I look forward to seeing you again, jubei.

Genmal

I'm sorry.

It's nothing.

I take it the retainers haven't taken any action?

It's been two hours.

I see.

Why did you...?

You knew it was a trap, but you came to help me.

You're so stupid. Why risk your life for me?

You think I'd abandon my comrade?

Comrade?

Yes. We've saved each other countless times since yesterday.

You're a precious friend to me.

Stay there!

The mochizuki clan is staying out of this one.

Your mission is over.

No, it's not. I'm still indebted to you.

You can repay me later.

Not if you're dead!

I'll repay you right here!

What are you doing?

The old man told me how to counteract the poison.

"Kill poison with poison."

He said if you make love to a poison-taster like me, you'll be cured.

Take me...

Why?! You'll die if you don't!

Why? Jubei!

We've been waiting! Load the ship immediately!

Oh, it's just you!

What did I tell you?

There's no way. We can't go up against that many people.

I don't intend to let them get away. Our battle starts now.

What do you intend to do?

When they finish loading the gold, go to the tower and ring the bell.

While they're distracted, I'll sneak aboard the ship.

When we're out at sea, we won't need any storm.

I'll sink it myself.

Very well.

By the way, did you make love to that Kunoichi?

None of your damn business! Now get going!

Genma... where are you?

When I die, I'll take you to hell with me!

The mochizuki clan is making their move?!

Ah, Kunoichi! You've done a fine job.

Hurry, before they get away! Where are the others?

Don't worry. They've got this place surrounded.

Then, there's not a moment to waste!

Jubei...

Kagero!

Stop! It's a trap!

You fool! Hyobu sakaki died two days ago.

I killed him personally.

Genmal

Lord genma, please get aboard the ship now.

The dark shogun's retainers are waiting.

Leave jubei to me. Upon my honor, I will not fail.

Please Grant me this one wish.

Very well, then. Go.

Stay out of this. Don't shame me any more than you already have.

So, you are genma?

The mochizuki clan suspects nothing, correct?

Yes. All is well.

Good. You've done a splendid job, as expected of you demons of kimon.

The dark shogun will be very pleased.

I hope you have an excruciatingly painful death.

Lord yurimaru seems to have suffered some ill fortune!

He carelessly fell into my trap.

That was careless of you, lord yurimaru.

Let's go.

Kagero!

Hang on! Kagero!

Jubei...

I told you not to come.

I wanted... to apologize...

It was the first time...

I was not treated like a poison-tasting Kunoichi...

But rather, as a normal woman.

I was afraid of becoming attracted to you.

So I tried to push you away. Forgive me...

I don't care what you think of me!

Doing it to cure yourself... or out of pity... would've been fine with me.

I just wish... that you had made love to me when we had the chance.

I was stupid... and weak.

Wh... why wasn't I more honest with you?

Enough. Not another word.

Jubei... I'm glad... I met you...

Genma, with the gold's help, our dream will soon be reality.

"Our" dream?

Our great dream to topple the tokugawa shogunate and restore the power of the toyotomi family.

You don't understand...

How we, the former retainers of toyotomi, have suffered.

Now it'll be the tokugawa who suffer the agony and torment.

We'll use the gold to buy advanced weapons from Spain and defeat the tokugawa.

That is the dream of all of us who work for the dark shogun.

Nonsense.

What did you say?!

I said nonsense.

Watch your tongue! You're a mere ninja!

My dream is different.

That gold isn't going to the dark shogun.

What?!

We, the demons of kimon, will take the gold.

You swine!

I'll use it to organize the most powerful army of ninja ever.

And we'll rule the country from the shadows with terror and power.

Anyone who opposes me, tokugawa or toyotomi... Even the dark shogun himself, shall die.

Which means the true dark shogun will be me.

Why, you actually came! You're exactly the one I wanted to see.

I'm glad to hear that.

Of course.

Without your help, sinking a big ship like this would be impossible!

Pathetic old fool!

Over here.

What's wrong?

Fire in the hold!

W-we're gonna sink!

Idiot! Put out the fire!

Impossible! It's a sea of flames!

Put it out! Do whatever you can!

Move it! Move it!

Forget it! Run!

Master genmal

pass this message to everyone:

"Abandon ship and lie low. I'll call for you someday."

Now, go.

Sir!

Genmal

I see you've returned from hell with some demons.

Jubei kibagami...

I should've finished you off with my own hands.

Stop complaining. It's too late now.

You want to avenge that Kunoichi kagero?

She's trash compared to the ones I've lost.

You're the only one I can't forgive!

I won't kill you yet. I want to take my sweet time torturing you.

I'll make you pay for crushing my dream.

Your dream?

Your dream of you becoming the true dark shogun?

That's funny.

If you became shogun, only demons would be left in the world.

If you enjoy their company so much... Then go back to hell!

I'll kill you!

No one can kill me.

That's something you're well aware of.

Because I'm immortal.

Is that so?

If you keep coming back to life...

Then I'll kill you as many times as it takes!

You fool!

Genma! This will be the end of you!

Jubeil!

You seem to be rid of the poison, thanks to kagero.

Teaming up a poison-tasting Kunoichi and a talented lone wolf ninja worked out better than I had planned.

Go away.

But kagero lived an unfortunate life...

A real pity...

Save for a few moments when she was able to be an ordinary girl and fall in love with you.

Was that part of your plan, too?

Something like that.

To read and control peoples' hearts is the true secret of the ninja.

However, only true sincerity can move the human heart.

A twisted old bastard like me can't do that.

You're one hell of a guy. You've left an impression on me.

As promised, I'll be waiting in edo with your 100 ryo.

Come and get it, if you're still alive and kicking.

That makes us even. I don't ever want to see your face again.

You got me. I thought about silencing you in edo, but...

Well, with the condition you're in, you'll be dying in this watery grave.

Everything will end just as I'd planned.

Come with me, let's go out to see the stars

evening has only just begun

I don't want anything, only for you to be at my side, a smile on your face

a distant summer, the two of us alone...

Sitting on the beach we used to walk

trying to retrieve the gentleness that we left behind

a distant ballad sung to no one at all...

I can still hear it even now

it embraces my wandering heart just like the cool night wind

Looking at you, only you saying things hard for us to say

times may have changed, but I know my feelings are still the same for you

a distant ballad sung to no one at all...

I can still hear it even now

it embraces my wandering heart just like the cool night wind
