Ibaraki and Ihsahn - Susanoo No Mikoto

8 heads, 8 tails
Covered in moss and cypress and cedar

8 valleys, 8 hills
The size its body spans the great lengths of

Its eyes like red lanterns
Stomach - bloody and inflamed

8 daughters, 8 years
One is taken every 12 months

It hungers for my children
Currently it has consumed

7 of my offspring
Leaving only one

What the hell could I do
To ward off this giant monster

Ten kara tsuihou sareta ore
Jyutsu wo ikasu tame ni chikyu ni yatte kita
Ore no shimei wa musumetachi wo sukuu koto
Sukuu koto

Ore wa Susanoo
Shimei wa wakatteru

Taruzake wo tsukutte
Mon wo shimete kure

Translation:
I have been banished from
The heavens I call home
For my trickery, I now

Walk as a mortal on this pale earth

I have now been given the task
To save a stranger's
Daughter - and if I save her
I will make her my own -
But first a comb

I am the storm god
I know what must be done
I am the storm god
Distill some eight-fold refined liquid
In a vat, surrounded by fences, enclosed by a gate

As each head will now consume
Passing out, before it's doom
Now's the time to finally vanquish
Send this serpent back to hell

8 vats filled of this clear nectar
Nectar of the gods and men
8 heads led down 8 paths
Now imbibe - and slumber

Cutting open Yamata No Orochi
Revealed Kusanagi No Tsurugi

Dance for me
Come feed my hole
You deserve to feed my woes
I just want to ingest every single one of your sisters
Is that too much to ask?

Dance for me
Come feed my hole
You deserve to feed my woes
I just want to ingest every single one of your sisters
Is that too much to ask?

Jeg drikker din elendighet
Jeg drikker din elendighet

Jeg sluker deg og blir selv hel

Translation:
I want to feed on misery
I want to feed on misery
I want to eat you - complete me

8 heads, 8 tails
Covered in moss and cypress and cedar

8 valleys, 8 hills
The size its body spans the great lengths of

Its eyes like red lanterns
Stomach - bloody and inflamed

Ten kara tsuihou sareta ore
Jyutsu wo ikasu tame ni chikyu ni yatte kita

Translation:
I have been banished from
The heavens I call home
For my trickery, I now
Walk as a mortal on this pale earth

As each head will now consume
Passing out, before it's doom
Now's the time to finally vanquish
Send this serpent back to hell

Cutting open Yamata No Orochi
Revealed Kusanagi No Tsurugi
