Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

この街から見る夜は深く

The night I see from this town is deep.

月は陰り 風が鳴いている

The moon dims, and the wind is howling.

会えない時間が 心を震わし

The time we can't meet makes my heart tremble.

蓋した想いは 飽きれるほど

Suppressed feelings have become so exhausting.

癒えない春も 凍てつく朝も

Unhealed springs and freezing mornings.

永遠なんてない情景

Scenes with no such thing as forever.

忘れぬ恋も 消えぬ痛みも

Love I can't forget and pain that won't fade.

等しく愛おしいと

Even so, I cherish them equally.

どれだけ伝えたい言葉がある

No matter how much I want to express these words.

病みに苛まれるほど

Feeling tormented by sickness.

突き刺さる感情の鼓動

The pounding of emotions that pierces deep.

互いに信じるもの

What we trust in each other.

ふと見渡せば あの子が泣いている

Suddenly looking around, that child is crying.

そんなことも知らずに生きて

Living without even knowing that.

曖昧にしてしまう 救いなどいらない

Becoming vague, I don't need salvation.

迷える子羊たちの末路

The fate of lost lambs.

くだらぬ愛も 確かな祈りも

Pointless love and certain prayers.

希望はここに灯っている

Hope is burning here.

僅かな才も 贖う夢も

A little talent and dreams of redemption.

全部抱きしめると

If I embrace them all.

どれだけ伝えたい言葉がある

No matter how many words I want to say.

哀しみに暮れぬよう

So I won't be drowned in sadness.

この闇を取り払えと

Remove this darkness.

互いに信じるもの

What we trust in each other.

私たちの声も 貴方たちの声も

Our voices and your voices.

何1つ交わりはしない

Don't intersect at all.

正義も悪も 真実も嘘も

Justice, evil, truth, and lies.

意味を成さない気がしてしまう

They all seem to lose meaning.

...

どれだけ伝えたい言葉がある

What we trust in each other.

私たちの声も 貴方たちの声も

Our voices and your voices.

何1つ交わりはしない

Don't intersect at all.

正義も悪も 真実も嘘も
