The avenger

In Tatari, the Japanese agree,

that’s nature holds an avenging force.

If you’ve made the Gods angry,

Then you must pay, of course.

I am the avenger.

You’ve brought this on your souls.

I am Nature’s defender.

For you, the bell now tolls.

I was created as a balance,

To strike back at humankind.

There must be an allowance,

For when you madden the Devine.

I stomp through the city.

I’ll crush you under my feet.

For you I have no pity.

It will be a stunning defeat.

Your missiles will have no effect.

You don’t have a big enough gun.

I will make you reflect,

on nature and what’ve done.
