【Touhou Lyrics】 Captain Murasa

  / lyricalive  

Minamitsu's theme. ...All aboard, passengers! It's sure to be an exciting expedition at sea with our friendly neighborhood funa-yuurei! What could possibly go wrong?

Hmm. It's only natural that "misery loves company," but Murasa here might be taking things a bit... overboard.

All hands ready! Forward, steady!
Here's one voyage that you won't be forgetting...

Fair winds blowing, starlight glowing,
Hoist our banner, and let's get going!
Dive right to it, pull right through it--
A knot so tight, you can't undo it.

Chart your courses, find your purpose,
All reflected in a glassy surface.
Salty flavored air we savor--
Now rig those sails, rig 'em in my favor!

Aye, a duty and an honor for the captain to go with the vessel when she's going down.
That's the perfect job for me-- since, when it comes to swim or sink, I think I'd rather drown...

Oh-- all at once, we're struck with the urge; it feels so right to submerge.
What do you mean, that's not what you drafted in for?
Here's your warning: we may capsize-- but then that's not a surprise.
You tackle something so much greater than you, it pulls back.

Foul winds yelling, waves are swelling;
So much clamor, it's overwhelming!
One sick feeling, rocking, reeling;
The deck's awash, so take the wheel...!

Aye, a duty and an honor for the captain to go with the vessel when she's going down.
Now, if I'll be going down-- I'll make sure some way or another that you're coming with me...

// flooding, spilling... lungs are filling...
// icy, chilling... ain't this thrilling...? ((Ah... down, down, like an anchor...))
// gasping, drinking... grasping, sinking...
// eardrums bursting... vision shrinking... ((Follow me... follow me...))

Because there's no end to it, this bottomless and blue expanse of sea,
Instead of feeling locked in, tell me, are you free now?

Here's one match you'll never win; however many gallons you take in,
You'll never swallow up the ocean. Let it swallow you instead!

Explore, once more, these great unfathomable depths.
So vast, for sure, they'll take away your breath...
