Princess Mononoke Lyrics

See your reflection in the water
Untouched by the hands of war
You were born somebody's daughter
And now you're so far from the shore
The sweetest part of you will die there
Wishing that you could just hide there
Follow the path, barefoot in the grass
Right into the past

You used to howl, you used to cry
The moon reflected in your eyes
But men and machines tore you from me
Now you can't unsee the pain that you've seen

Was just an innocent body
Unarmed with the blade of hate
You can't stop the sky from falling
But you can rise to meet your fate
And when they catch a hold of you
Remember how it felt to be
A child in the trees
When you were free

You used to howl, you used to cry
The moon reflected in your eyes
But men and machines tore you from me
Now you can't unsee the pain that you've seen

The world is cursed
But still you find
The reason to stay alive
Oh, the world, it hurts
But still you find
The reason to stay alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

You used to howl, you used to cry
The moon reflected in your eyes
But men and machines tore you from me
Now you can't unsee the pain that you've seen

You used to howl, you used to cry
The moon reflected in your eyes
But men and machines tore you from me
Now you can't unsee the pain that you've seen
