lyrics

The rainbow light on shattered glass
The car crash sounds from the overpass
Black hair, pale eyes on the monitor
Kyoto Jo they call her

She dreams of reason
But reason falls away
In cherry blossom time
Tomorrow’s here today

She is a sovereign nation
With no capitulation
She bears the heart of a warrior
She never steps out of character

The seat of power
Is shifting in the sand
In cherry blossom time
The touch of someone’s hand

She gave her life
For some wild-eyed virtue
(Kyoto Jo)
For a chance of outrageous fortune
(Where did you go?)
They failed you
So strike them down
Strike them down again
They failed you
(Failed you)

Dream of a thousand red dawns
The girl must fall on her sword
Always the mask of a warrior
Kyoto Jo they call her

She dreams of reason
But reason falls away
(Where did you go?)
In cherry blossom time
Tomorrow’s here today
She dreams of reason
But reason takes a fall
(What do you know?)
In cherry blossom time
She gave it her all
