Enjoy the serene scenes of beautiful Japan while you listen to The Flower of Carnage by Meiko Kaji, which is featured in Kill Bill when The Bride finally finishes off O'Ren. She is also the star of a bevy of Japanese cult classics such as Lady Snowblood.

Lyrics:

Shindeita
Asa ni
Tomorai no
Yuki ga furu

Hagure inu no
Touboe
Geta no
Otokishimu

Iin na naomosa
Mitsumete aruku
Yami wo dakishimeru
Janomeno kasa hitotsu

Inochi no michi wo
Yuku onna
Namida wa tooni
Sutemashita

Furimuita
Kawa ni
Toozakaru
Tabinohima

Itteta tsuru wa
Ugokasu
Naita
Ame to kaze

Kieta mizu mo ni
Hotsure ga miutsushi
Namida sae misenai
Janomeno kasa hitotsu

Urami no michi wo
Yuku onna
Kokoro wa tooni
Sutemashita

Giri mo nasake mo
Namida mo yume no
Kinou mo ashita mo
Henno nai kotoba

Urami no kawa ni
Mi wo yudanete
Honma wa tooni
Sutemashita

Translation:

Begrieving snow falls in the dead morning.
Stray dogs howl and the footsteps of Geta pierce the air.
I walk with the weight of the Milky Way on my shoulders,
but an umbrella that holds onto the darkness is all there is.
I'm a woman who walks at the brink of life and death,
who's emptied my tears many moons ago.
All the compassion tears and dreams
the snowy nights and tomorrow hold no meaning.
I've immersed my body in the river of venegance
and thrown away my womanhood many moons ago.
On the behalf of heaven, they're our soldiers, the loyal, invincible and brave.
Now it's time for them to leave the country of their
parents their hearts buoyed by encouraging voices.
They are solemnly resolved not to return alive, without victory.
Here at home, the citizens wait for you
in foreign lands, the brave troops.
Instead of kindness from someone
I do not care about,
I rather prefer selifshness from you.
