In the sodden snow of the Genso's hills
Was born an Issun-bosh' child
With a fighting heart and immortal skill
And a spirit fiery and wild

Through a prophecy she was bound and doomed
To a short yet a glorious size
And she bore the innocence of child til
A famous fateful night

With Kozuchi in her hands
Her name would cross the land

This has all happened before.

And it will all happen again.
