Onryō

Meaning; In Japanese traditional beliefs and literature, onryō (怨霊, lit. 'vengeful spirit', sometimes rendered "wrathful spirits" or "hatred spirits") | are a type of ghost (yūrei) believed to be capable of causing harm in the world of the living, injuring or killing enemies, or even causing natural disasters to exact vengeance to "redress" the wrongs it received while alive, then taking their spirits from their dying bodies. Onryō are often depicted as wronged women, who are traumatized by what happened during life and exact revenge in death.

 

Mantra; Motionless in White - Cause of Death

 

Nemesis, my dearly neurotic

Enemies, though our face is the same

Your greedy hands held my happiness hostage

I will carry you to the grave

 

Nemesis, this time I'll finish it

Break me down, over and over

Blood for blood, I'll cut you out with

The knife you cowardly left in my back.

 

Never again

I’d rather die than keep you alive

 

Do you believe in me now?

Laugh as I lower you down

No funeral, no condolences

You shot our plot full of holes

And nailed our twin casket closed

I found my life in your cause of death

 

I know that you hate me but need my protection

An awful reflection of what’s taken place

Born out of trauma, and lost in the drama,

I've been here the whole time to keep you safe

 

You can try, (but) you know that you need me

Enemies, though we’re one in the same

(I) killed you off in the name of survival

But I am not to blame

 

Do you believe in me now?

Laugh as you lower me down

No funeral, no condolences

(So say goodbye)

You shot our plot full of holes

And nailed our twin casket closed

You found your life in my cause of death

Enmeshed in our design

Judgements collide

 

A cruel invention, despite good intentions,

The damage has been done

Liar

Two faced

A cruel invention, despite good intentions, can we be forgiven?

 

Is it too late for us now?

Could history be rewound?

Is there no chance to make amends?

And as this story unfolds

My book began where yours closed

A sign of life in your cause of death

I was your cause of death

 

No hope, no time

Can’t go back, can’t rewind

I still belong to you

No hope, no time

Can’t go back, can’t rewind

You still belong to me

You were my sign of life and I was your cause of death
