Lonely this hell on earth
Demons screaming in my mind
Wading through debris of life
A thousand souls their graves to find
Flotsam with death on board
Bodies ripped until the bone
Nothing but the sounds of time
No sign of life - am I alone?
Demons screaming in my mind
Wading through debris of life
A thousand souls their graves to find
Flotsam with death on board
Bodies ripped until the bone
Nothing but the sounds of time

"The child of Fujimi. She, who had the great poet as her father... With her ability to invoke death in any human being, and the mystery of her fated connection with the Saigyou Ayakashi... It is no wonder that soon after her birth, she was sentenced to a lifetime of seclusion."
— Yukari Yakumo, Touhou Tonari
"For aeons she would walk in the world, and would outlive the peoples, and all, and wander alone amongst the dying stars."

No frame of reference for this altered state
Time kept running in my temporary absence
Blindly watching in the gardens of the awakened
Perseverance of a soul misplaced
Sole survivor on a desolate place

"Dracula hasn't had servants in four hundred years. And then a man comes to his ancestral home, and he must convince him that he- that he is like the man! He has to feed him, when he himself hasn't eaten food in centuries. Can he even remember how to buy bread? How to select cheese and wine? Then he remembers the rest of it: how to prepare a meal, how to make a bed! He remembers his past glory, his armies, his retainers, and what he is reduced to.
The loneliest part of the book comes when the man accidentally sees Dracula setting his table."

Orym: So, why are you puppeteering a dead rat?
Laudna: [puppeteering the dead rat] "Well y'see, Laudna here was quite alone for quite some time, and she kinda needed someone to keep her company or else she would go insane... Especially 'cause it was just me and that voice in her head." [in her own voice] He's so silly!

Well, last night I had me a dream, son
The end of the world could be seen
Well, I didn't know where to turn, son
The absence of life was obscene
