Lyrics & Translation
Unforgettable, the dark, vibrant sea
Fades into the pale pink sky
Synchronized with the pulsing heartbeat
Hiding the memories of the wind and the earth
The shadows of those who took everything are blue
Silencing the time that was ravaged
The river flows up to the sky
And the rain of light pours down
The loop won't stop
With the prayers of August
I bare my vows
If I go mad, the clouds will hide
Where will I go next?
I won't stop the loop
With the dance of August
I dance quietly
And return to my lodging
In the secret forest
The dream that has cooled down is strange
I stare at the circle to confirm
The crowd of people dancing like fish
In the darkness, the woman weaves her thread
The night road that guides the roaring god
The night road that guides the roaring god
Remember, don't be afraid, the moon will come again
In the ink-colored sky that flows like blood
This demon that has stuck to me
The records of the earth and the wind that live on
The loop won't stop
With the prayers of August
I bare my vows
If I go mad, the clouds will hide
Where will I go next?
I won't stop the loop
With the dance of August
I dance quietly
And return to my lodging
In the secret forest
