Silver Bow Reign
(ahhhh, ohhh)
Moonlight threading through the pine,
Footsteps soft on the ancient ground,
Daughter of the thundered sky,
Where she walks, no chains are found.
Eyes of night, a steady flame,
Stars are sworn to know her name,
Every beast,
every breeze Bends to her in quiet praise.
No crown of gold,
no lover’s vow, She runs with wolves,
she runs free now,
Hear the forest hold its breath— She draws the bow,
she chooses death.
Tsuki wa kurayami no naka de michibiki o shimeshi,
hoshihoshi wa michi o terashimasu.
Shizuka ni suwashite toku o miidashitsutsu,
dokuritsu chikara o mitsukenasai.
Sokoku o tasukenai, sore wa anata no ie de ari,
anata no ibasho de ari,
anata ga zokusuru basho desu.
Chokkan ni mimi o katamukenasai,
sore koso ga shinsei no sasayaki
na no desu.
Nymphs beside her, sworn and true,
Laughing where the rivers wind,
She protects the broken,
Women’s rage and children’s cries.
Cities fall and kings will lie,
But oaths she keeps beneath the sky,
If you cross the sacred line,
You’ll meet her wrath,
cold and divine.
No throne of stone,
no jeweled hall, Her kingdom’s where the shadows call,
From mountain peak to ocean’s breath,
She guards the line of life and death.
Tsuki wa kurayami no naka de michibiki o shimeshi,
hoshihoshi wa michi o terashimasu.
Shizuka ni suwashite toku o miidashitsutsu,
dokuritsu chikara o mitsukenasai.
Sokoku o tasukenai, sore wa anata no ie de ari,
anata no ibasho de ari,
anata ga zokusuru basho desu.
Chokkan ni mimi o katamukenasai,
sore koso ga shinsei no sasayaki
na no desu.
Pray not to her with greedy hands,
She hears the fear you never planned,
But kneel if you are hurt or young,
She’ll stand with you till dawn is sung.
Oh Artemis, sister of light,
Running free from wrong and right,
Silver bow and crescent crown,
You never kneel, you never bow.
When the world is sharp and cruel,
You remind us strength is rule,
Oh Artemis, fierce and true,
The wild survives because of you.
(ahhhh, shizuka ni...)
