Susanoo No Mikoto Lyrics by Ibaraki & Ihsahn
8 heads, 8 tails
Covered in moss and cypress and cedar
8 valleys, 8 hills
The size its body spans the great lengths of
Its eyes like red lanterns
Stomach – bloody and inflamed
8 daughters, 8 years
One is taken every 12 months
It hungers for my children
Currently it has consumed
7 of my offspring
Leaving only one
What the hell could I do
To ward off this giant monster
Ten kara tsuihou sareta ore
Jyutsu wo ikasu tame ni chikyu ni yatte kita
Ore no shimei wa musumetachi wo sukuu koto
Sukuu koto
Ore wa Susanoo
Shimei wa wakatteru
Taruzake wo tsukutte
Mon wo shimete kure
Translation:
I have been banished from
The heavens I call home
For my trickery, I now
Walk as a mortal on this pale earth
I have now been given the task
To save a stranger’s
Daughter – and if I save her
I will make her my own –
But first a comb
I am the storm god
I know what must be done
I am the storm god
Distill some eight-fold refined liquid
In a vat, surrounded by fences, enclosed by a gate
As each head will now consume
Passing out, before it’s doom
Now’s the time to finally vanquish
Send this serpent back to hell
8 vats filled of this clear nectar
Nectar of the gods and men
8 heads led down 8 paths
Now imbibe – and slumber
Cutting open Yamata No Orochi
Revealed Kusanagi No Tsurugi
Dance for me
Come feed my hole
You deserve to feed my woes
I just want to ingest every single one of your sisters
Is that too much to ask?
Dance for me
Come feed my hole
You deserve to feed my woes
I just want to ingest every single one of your sisters
Is that too much to ask?
Jeg drikker din elendighet
Jeg drikker din elendighet
Jeg sluker deg og blir selv hel
Translation:
I want to feed on misery
I want to feed on misery
I want to eat you – complete me
8 heads, 8 tails
Covered in moss and cypress and cedar
8 valleys, 8 hills
The size its body spans the great lengths of
Its eyes like red lanterns
Stomach – bloody and inflamed
Ten kara tsuihou sareta ore
Jyutsu wo ikasu tame ni chikyu ni yatte kita
Translation:
I have been banished from
The heavens I call home
For my trickery, I now
Walk as a mortal on this pale earth
As each head will now consume
Passing out, before it’s doom
Now’s the time to finally vanquish
Send this serpent back to hell
Cutting open Yamata No Orochi
Revealed Kusanagi No Tsurugi
