The energy rising is making me feel like a lunatic.
Nothing to lose, so I’m not holding back.
Throw all that I’ve got into one more attack.
You gave me the challenge; I took it up then.
I’ll take it again and again and again.
A side of myself I show only to you,
Who has never enough, who will never be through.
We kick up the dust at our feet
Till we’re floating on nothing but heat.
A swelling intensity, growing in density;
Fully surrounded, it builds a suspense in me.
Cutting through all of the blindingest colors, I see it,
The coy little smile that plays on your lips.
It’s getting me wired up, fired up. Free it –
It’s you, and it’s me, in a total eclipse.
Come, dance with me through endless shining stars, (That’s right.)
Poised so to fill the endless night. (Don’t let it end.)
Stay longer, if you haven’t had enough. (Got nothing but time to spend.)
Once more, begin the fight of two immovable hearts… (Fight!)
Yes, our very stubbornness is key. (I won’t give up.)
Birth here a new eternity. (And you won’t give in.)
No meaning, it is truly up to me. (A duel no one can win.)
I’ll have the final word. (But… I’ll have the final word.)
Our charm is so elusively defined: (Let this conversation flow.)
Pure elegance and strength entwined. (A language only we know.)
Raw duality, a beauty of the mind. (Not human, not ghost. Look east.)
Now, as the power flows, what shall we call ourselves? (Tonight, we are beast.)
Gaze on me, at my very highest peak. (Go higher.)
This storm shall be the last you see. (Come on and taste the fire!)
Until another life where may we meet, (Till we meet again…)
I’ll have the final word.

Kaguya and Mokou duets are always such a treat, thank you <3 Also, quick excerpt from a conversation with my gf (who knows Touhou and Japanese mythology only from my infodumps) that made me laugh a lot: - Lyrica released a new song, aaaah! - (she vaguely knows I like your work) Oh! Then Aaaaah! I guess :D - It's about Kaguya and-- - Ka-gu-ya. Kaguya. Kaguya? - Yes?? - Kaguya. Haha. Funny name. Sounds like a frog. - ???? She's a princess?? You don't know about her story? - ... No? Is there a frog in it? Is she a frog princess? - Well... No?? I ended up telling her the story but forgot to put a frog in it x) I laughed, though. Also I guess Kaguya is a frog now. (edit: corrected syntax errors, please excuse my French)
