[English]

Hey, don't forget

Don't get used to it

Come to the side of beginnings, not endings

Don't be afraid

Don't give up

Not even knowing whose ashes they are anymore

I believe

I keep getting hurt

Fading away to the point of shock

If it's dirt, I'll rise above it

Oh, before the fire in my heart

Throw it away, break every single day

Dusk, was there nothing at all?

Beyond the memories, oh

To the world that accepted it

If there's a place to belong

Hey, I want to become stronger

I want to be strong right now

Come to the side of beginnings, not endings

Accumulating shadows

One fades away

Breaking apart without form

Abandon helplessness

Oh, before the fire in my heart

Throw it away, break every day

Dusk, was there nothing at all?

Beyond the memories, oh

To the world that took it in

If there's a place for me

Deep inside

I envisage

Getting knocked down again

Repeating over and over

I'll surpass everything

Oh, before the fire in my heart

Throw it away, break every day

Dusk, was there nothing at all?

Beyond the memories, oh

To the world that accepted it

If there's a place to belong

Hey, I want to become stronger

I want to be strong right now

Come to the side of beginnings, not endings

[Japanese]

ねえ忘れないで

慣れてしまわないで

終わりより始まりの側に来て

怯えないで

諦めてしまわないで

誰の灰なのかすらもう判らずに

信じている

傷つけてゆく

呆れるほどに　掠れ続け

穢れならば越えてゆく

ああ胸に火を前に

ふり投げろさあ毎日砕け

暮れる　なにもなかった？

ああ思い出の先に

それを引き受けた世界に

居場所なら

ねえ強くなりたい

いま強く在りたい

終わりより始まりの側に来て

積もる影が

ひとつ消えて

形もなく崩れてゆく

仕方なさを捨てる

ああ胸に火を前に

ふり投げろさあ毎日砕け

暮れる　なにもなかった？

ああ思い出の先に

それを引き受けた世界に

居場所なら

深く奥で

思い描き

打ちのめされては

繰り返して

なにもかもを越えてゆく

ああ胸に火を前に

ふり投げろさあ毎日砕け

暮れる　なにもなかった？

ああ思い出の先に

それを引き受けた世界に

居場所なら

ねえ強くなりたい

いま強く在りたい

終わりより始まりの側に来て
