Pray – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Cold memories and an empty world

If insufficient forms are together

Things that are wrong, things that I hated

I'm still fighting, where is the end of it?

Until I'm afraid, the blue moon is cold and doesn't have a time

Liars will meet hope

Don't let go, snag me away

As I was promised that my unvanishing sins

would become unvanishing punishments

Don't forget just yet that I do still breathe

Let it end properly

You promised me, that's why

Is it okay to pray for a dream that falls up?

Like I lost the cloudy heart

Will the words I wanted to say, stay unfound?

Even so, the vow is mixed up with pain

I'm now opposing it, aren't you. What can I possibly do?

Do you understand? How I striked the pulse I wished for?

The beginning swallowed my despair

Don't stop, I'll be sure to save you

Please accept it, the way you'd always do

Please, I ask you

Don't interrupt me, look let's go back to how it was originally

Including love, let's make up our ideals

Please, I ask you

It's like I'm drowning in a deep deep sea inside a dream

The thing that float in the mirrow are two blue moons

Let's start, cutting up the distorted smile

Hey

If I understand

will nobody cry?

Will it end?

Hey, if I'd just disappear

Will I be of any help to you tomorrow?

With these hands, somehow

Don't let go, snag me away

As I was promised that my unvanishing sins

would become unvanishing punishments

Don't forget just yet that I do still breathe

Let it end properly

You promised me, that's why

Is it okay to pray for a dream that falls up?

It's like I'm drowning in a deep deep sea inside a dream
