【Touhou Lyrics】 Broken Moon

Suika's theme. ...This makes me feel so good. :') Despite not being ZUN's composition, Suika's theme truly encapsulates all of what Gensokyo is about: the traditional and honorable oni lifestyle, the perpetually festive and lighthearted atmosphere... It really makes me feel immersed in the whole fantasy, and in these beautiful ideals.
Aside from a few tweaks, I actually wrote the lyrics entirely in one sitting... which NEVER HAPPENS. Somehow, though, it came together very naturally. Suika's ability, the power to spread things around and bring people together, is so brilliant and easy to work with.
For the record, this uses the version of the song from SWR, although the words mostly reference IaMP. ...Do you get it -- "the moonshine's forever" -- her alcohol is everlasting, haha...

Take a taste; you’ll need it when the mood is tight:
A magic brew to set the feeling right.
Come on, there’s plenty here for everyone!
We’ll break it out to spread around tonight.
Now, we gather while the moon is bright
To share a moment in the scattered light.
Come on, there’s plenty here for everyone!
We’ll break it up to spread around tonight.
Well, the festival’s here, and it’s only just begun.
Let’s forget all our fear, and we’ll have a little fun.
Hand to hand, do our dance till the orchestra is done,
As we drink to the very last drop.
It’s a warm welcome back to the place we used to haunt.
Let’s be true to ourselves and to what we really want.
Deep inside, find the strength that you’re not afraid to flaunt,
And our grand celebration won’t stop.
And together we will drink, and together we will dream
In a world where fantasies are as real as they seem.
If you never want to leave, we can always make believe
That the moon shines forever tonight.
When it sets, when it’s gone, it means the dream is ending soon.
So all we have to do is make a hundred thousand moons!
If you never want to leave, we can always make believe
That the moon shines forever tonight.
