[English]

Will love eventually disappear? Can we know eternity?

The spreading night suddenly grows colder

Ash-rose dances on the wind, searching for the sound of sinking roots

Stretching my breath, hiding pain

Refusing to allow us to go back

Thrown into the sea, now the prayers of crawling stars

Illuminate you

In the light, between shadows and lies, I’m here

As my heart screams, I just hope you can hear me now

Living without lies

That’s what’s born — the stronger love the more you learn it

I won’t forget the voice of tears I’ve shed

Unable to forget, I don’t want to forget

Days are heavy, they bounce back when pressed

In front of a wave-like door

No one can step back; all we can do is pray

For your tomorrow

In the light, a future emerging—Nowhere

If only you’d smile beyond the nightmare, I’m here now

Even if I struggle, I will search

It’s related to love—a hope called desire

I will untangle the threads tangled around you

Hold the candle’s flame against the darkness until it runs out

I still love you

Hold each other in my room, believe me

Just let me go, just let me go

Look at me

In the light, between shadows and lies, I’m here

As my heart screams, I just hope you can hear me now

Living without lies

That’s what’s born—the stronger love the more you learn it

I won’t forget the voice of tears I’ve shed

[Japanese]

愛はいずれ消えますか？ 永遠は知り得ますか？

滲(にじ)み広がる夜は急に冷えていく

灰の桜は舞い風に乗り 沈む音根を探した

息を伸ばし 秘める痛み

戻ることを許さない

海に投げ出され 這(は)う星の祈りが今

君を照らす

光の中 陰と嘘の隙間で I’m here

心が叫ぶまま ただ 君に聞こえてくれれば今

偽りなく生きる

それは生まれるもの 愛を知るほど強く

流し切った涙の声 忘れない

忘れられない 忘れたくない

日々は重く 押せば返す

波のような ドアの前

誰も後退(あとずさ)りは出来ない 祈りはただ

君の明日へ

光の中 浮かび上がる未来は Nowhere

悪夢の先に描いた 君が笑ってくれれば今

踠(もが)いてでも探す

それに連(つら)なるもの 愛という名の望み

縺(もつ)れ合った君への糸 解くから

尽きるまで蝋燭(ろうそく)の火を闇に翳(かざ)せ

I still love you

抱き合うMy room, Believe me

Just let me go, Just let me go

Look at me

光の中 陰と嘘の隙間で I’m here

心が叫ぶまま ただ 君に聞こえてくれれば今

偽りなく生きる

それは生まれるもの 愛を知るほど強く

流し切った涙の声 忘れない
