The Weathered Head at Onigashima is a song released by mothy on February 25, 2015 in the Seven Crimes and Punishments album. It follows the monk Gakusha as he learns about the terrible history behind the severed head of Kayo Sudou.
Plot
In the center of Onigashima, Jakoku, where Enbizaka is located, a severed head hangs from an execution site. A monk traveling through the region wonders what kind of crime the head committed and asks the people; he learns that the owner of a clothing store and his family were murdered by the head. Questioning why the lovely woman of the tale killed those people, the monk notes that the head of Onigashima doesn't say a word.
The next day, the monk visits the site to perform the memorial service and sees a boy; questioning who he is, the monk learns that the child was the one who cut off the head at the site. He remarks that the woman was both sinful and pitiful before he joins hands with the monk and chants the rites. Noting that the woman was once a skillful tailor, the severed head in Enbizaka doesn't carry her scissors skillfully anymore. It's also noted that no matter how pretty the kimono, the severed head ultimately can't wear it without a torso.
Lyrics
もしも 忘れなければ
鬼ヶ島の中央に円尾坂
坂の上の刑場にはさらし首
長い血染めの髪 風に吹かれ
さらりさらり横に流れゆく
いかなる罪犯した首であろうか
何も知らぬ旅の僧が人に問う
呉服屋の主人とその家族を
鋏で刺した女だという
かように美麗な女子（おんなご）が
なにゆえ人を殺めたか
野ざらしの女は何も語らない
嗚呼 鬼ヶ島 さらし首
咎人の供養も愚僧の務め
あくる日も訪れた円尾坂の上
首の前に先客 童（わらし）が一人
彼はいかなる者であろうか
僧の問いに童はこう答えた
この首を切り落としたのは自分だと
罪深き女だが憐れでもある
共に手を合わせ経を唱えた
女は腕のいい仕立屋で
雅 (みやび）な着物を織ったという
されどもう鋏を持つ腕もない
嗚呼 円尾坂 さらし首
どんなに綺麗な着物でも
胴が無ければ着られない
野ざらしの女は何も語らない
嗚呼 鬼ヶ島 さらし首
嗚呼 円尾坂 さらし首
Moshimo wasure nakereba
Onigashima no chuuou ni enbizaka
Saka no ue no keijou ni wa sarashi kubi
Nagai chizome no kami kaze ni fukare
Sarari sarari yoko ni nagareyuku
Ikanaru tsumi okashita kubi de arou ka
Nanimo shiranu tabi no sou ga hito ni tou
Gofukuya no shuujin to sono kazoku wo
Hasami de sashita onna da to iu
Kayou ni bireina onnago ga
Naniyue hito wo ayameta ka
Nozarashi no onna wa nanimo kataranai
Aa onigashima sarashi kubi
Toganin no kuyou mo sou no tsutome
Akuru hi mo otozureta enbizaka no ue
Kubi no mae ni senkyaku warashi ga hitori
Kare wa ikanaru mono de arou ka
Sou no toi ni warashi wa kou kotaeta
Kono kubi wo kiriotoshita no wa jibun da to
Tsumibukaki onna da ga aware demo aru
Tomo ni te wo awase kei wo tonaeta
Onna wa ude no ii shitateya de
Miyabi na kimono wo otta to iu
Saredomo mou hasami wo motsu ude mo nai
Aa enbizaka sarashi kubi
Donna ni kirei na kimono demo
Dou ga nakereba kirarenai
Nozarashi no onna wa nanimo kataranai
Aa onigashima sarashi kubi
Aa enbizaka sarashi kubi
If only I hadn't forgotten
At Enbizaka in the center of Onigashima,
At the execution site atop the hill, is a head on display
Her long, bloodstained hair blowing in the wind,
Smoothly, smoothly flowing side-to-side
What kind of crime did this head commit?
The monk who didn't know asked someone
It was said the owner of a clothing shop and his family
Were stabbed with scissors by that woman
The beautiful woman of this ballad,
Why did she murder those people?
This weathered woman doesn't say anything
Yes, the head on display at Onigashima
Memorials for criminals are also the monk's duty
He again visited the top of Enbizaka the next day
The prior visitor before the head is a lone child
What kind of person is he?
The child answered the monk's question
He cut off her head himself
She was a sinful woman but pitiful
They joined their hands together and recited the rites
She was a skilled tailor
It's said she weaved elegant kimono
Even so, she lacks the arms to hold scissors anymore
Yes, the head on display at Enbizaka
No matter how beautiful the kimono,
She can't wear them without a body
This weathered woman doesn't say anything
Yes, the head on display at Onigashima
Yes, the head on display at Enbizaka
